Before we reviewed this device we didn’t really expect it to have the huge performance it showed. However, as with every typical thin and light model, there are compromises on the upgradability front. This is a bit of a letdown for a laptop bearing the “Pro” moniker.

1. Remove the bottom plate and battery

This notebook’s bottom panel is held in place by 7 Torx head screws. After you undo them, you need to carefully pry the panel with a plastic tool. Then you can lift it away from the chassis.

2. Battery

The battery pack inside of this device has a capacity of 61Wh.

3. Мemory and storage

We were not very happy to see that there are no memory upgrade options. There are only two configurations, which include either 8GB or 16GB of dual-channel RAM. On the other hand, the single M.2 slot supports PCIe x4 drives.

It is good to see that Lenovo is trying to justify the Pro name of this laptop by putting a decent-looking cooling solution. It has two heat pipes, which cool both the CPU and the GPU and then transfer the heat to two heat sinks. Respectively, the heat is dissipated by a pair of fans. Additionally, you can see that the VRMs and the graphics memory are also actively cooled.
