1. Remove the service lid
We are glad to see that Fujitsu thinks about its users. They are one of the few manufacturers to have left the service lid intact. In this case, you need to undo one Phillips-head screw to be able to pop it open.
2. Battery
There, you will find the 45Wh battery pack, which is held in place by a lock slider and nothing more. In terms of upgrade options, you get two RAM SODIMM slots for up to 64GB of memory in dual-channel mode. As for the storage, there is one M.2 slot.
