1. Remove the bottom plate + Cooling system
HP has once again tried to surprise everybody by hiding some screws. Three of them (Torx-head) are clearly visible, but after you remove the back feet you will notice four more, this time – Phillips-head type. Then pop the panel with a plastic pry tool and you should be able to see what’s inside.
The cooling features two heat pipes, leading to two different heat spreaders and then having two fans. Quite the cooling potential it has.
2. Battery
As of the battery – it takes more than half of the space inside this machine.
3. Memory and storage
Unsurprisingly, there are no RAM upgrade options, but you still have the possibility to upgrade the storage via a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot.

Unsurprisingly, there are no RAM upgrade options, but you still have the possibility to upgrade the storage via a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot. – What does that mean?
If I understood correctly, you cannot add another RAM memory board but you can change the existing one with a more performant one i.e. 8 GB for 16GB. Is that correct?
RAM is seperate from storage. Storage is the M.2 SSD (which is what decides how much you can have on your laptop), and RAM is the memory which is what decides speed and multitasking (anything more than 16 gbs is usually overkill)
