1. Remove the bottom plate

As with the other design features, the disassembly process of the ProBook 440 G7 remains largely unchanged from its predecessor. Unscrew all 7 of the Phillips-head screws and pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool. After that, you should be easily able to lift the panel away from the chassis.

2. Battery

Battery-wise, there is a 3-cell 45Wh pack inside.

3. Memory and storage

In terms of upgradability, there are two RAM SODIMM slots, which house up to 32GB of DDR4 memory with speeds of up to 2666 MHz. Additionally, there is a 2.5″ SATA drive bay, as well as an M.2 SATA/PCIe x4 slot.

4. Cooling system

Cooling-wise there is a single, rather long heat pipe that connects to a side-mounted heat spreader. There is also a decently sized fan there. Interestingly, HP was pretty generous when applying the thermal compound, as you can clearly see it sipping away from the cooler mounting spot.
