1. Remove the bottom plate
Similarly to the 14-inch version, you need to undo 9 Phillips-head screws. Two of them are captive, and they will lift the backside of the bottom panel so that you can start the prying process from there.
2. Battery
As for the battery, there is a 53Wh unit.
3. Memory and storage
Interestingly, there are the two RAM SODIMM slots and the dual M.2 PCIe x4 support. The maximum supported memory here is 32GB.
4. Cooling system
The cooling solution here doesn’t look particularly impressive, as Dell uses only one heat pipe for both the CPU and the GPU.
