1. Remove the bottom plate

Taking this device apart is nothing out of the ordinary. Undo all 11 Phillips-head screws, and then pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the front corners.


2. Battery

When it comes to the battery, Acer has put a 57.5Wh unit in this device.


3. Memory and storage

In terms of upgradability, there are two RAM SODIMM slots, which can be fitted with up to 64GB of DDR4 memory in total. And storage-wise, there are two M.2 NVMe SSD slots with RAID 0 support, as well as a single 2.5-inch SATA drive bay.


4. Cooling system

After you get inside, you’ll see a cooling solution that comprises three heat pipes, one of which is common for the CPU and the GPU, and a total of four heat spreaders. Additionally, there are heat sinks on top of the graphics memory and the VRMs, which is a nice touch.
