1. Remove the bottom plate and battery

There are 9 Phillips-head screws you need to undo if you want to get inside of this notebook. After that, just pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, and remove it from the chassis.

This notebook comes with one of two batteries. You get either a 56Wh 3-cell unit or a 97Wh 6-cell one.

When it comes to the memory, there are 8GB of soldered DDR4 RAM, with one SODIMM slot for further expansion. As for the storage, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots.


4. Cooling system

Since this is a pretty powerful notebook, we are pretty interested in the cooling solution. Ultimately, it looks decent, with two heat pipes cooling both the CPU and the GPU and going to two heat spreaders with a step shape.
