1. Remove the bottom plate and battery

Taking apart this laptop is as easy as undoing five Torx-head screws and prying the bottom panel with a plastic tool.


2. Battery

In this case, the battery pack has a capacity of 54Wh. Please, make sure you unplug the battery connector before you do anything on the inside.


3. Мemory and storage

Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, the memory here is soldered to the motherboard. With that said, the laptop comes in configurations including 8, 16, or 32GB of LPDDR4 RAM, all working in dual-channel mode. Storage-wise, there is a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot, hidden by a metal bracket.


4. Cooling system
