1. Remove the bottom plate
To take this notebook apart, you need to undo two Torx-head screws. Then, remove the two rubber feet to find four Phillips-head screws. After that, undo them, and pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool.
2. Battery
Its 51Wh battery delivers about 7 hours of Web browsing and nearly 11 hours of video playback. At some time, this battery will surely perish, and you might want to replace it. To do so, undo all 5 Phillips-head screws holding it to the chassis. After that, unplug the battery connector from the motherboard, and unlatch the speaker cables.

In terms of memory upgrades, there are two RAM SODIMM slots. To access them, remove the metal cover. Storage-wise, you get one M.2 PCIe x4 slot.
