1. Remove the bottom plate

To take this laptop apart, you need to undo 8 captive Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the panel with a plastic tool, starting from the hinge gaps. Thankfully, the bottom panel just pops up, so it is pretty easy to lift it away.


2. Battery

Inside, you will find either a 42 or a 63Wh battery pack. If you want to remove the battery, the first thing you need to do is to disconnect the speaker and the power connector from the motherboard. Then, undo all 4 Phillips-head screws. This will allow you to lift the battery pack, and remove it from the chassis.


3. Memory and storage

Unfortunately, the memory here is soldered to the motherboard. According to CPU-Z, it works in quad-channel mode and has the LPDDR4x type. Interestingly, there are options with 8, 16, and 32GB of RAM, with the first two working at 3733 MHz, and the last working at 4267 MHz. Thankfully, the storage can be swapped, thanks to one M.2 PCIe x4 slot.


4. Cooling system

As for the cooling, it comprises two rather long heat pipes, connected to a side-mounted heat sink. Additionally, there is a medium-sized fan.
