1. Remove the bottom plate

To get inside of this device, you need to undo 10 Torx-head screws. After that, carefully pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the front corners.


2. Battery

Here, we see a 90Wh battery pack. Before you continue, it would be best to disconnect the connector from the motherboard. Then, undo all 4 Phillips-head screws that hold it in place. After that, lift the battery and remove it from the chassis.


3. Memory and storage

Thankfully, there are two SODIMM slots for memory expansion. They fit regular and ECC DDR4 modules for up to 64GB of RAM in dual-channel mode. Storage-wise, you get two M.2 PCIe x4 slots. One of them supports Gen 4 drives. You also get support for RAID 0.


4. Cooling system

Now, there is the cooling. Two heat pipes are shared between the CPU and the GPU, with the former getting another heat pipe, while the latter is cooled by two more. In addition, a sixth heat pipe takes care of the VRMs and connects to two of the four heat sinks.
