Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options
This is one of the smallest true gaming notebooks on the market. But what does it have to offer, when it comes to its insides?Check out all ASUS Zephyrus G14 GA401 prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.1. Remove the bottom plate This guy has a total of 14 Phillips-head screws holding its bottom panel in place. If we have to be honest, even most 17-inch gaming laptops have less, but it's good to see that ASUS is thinking about rigidity here. Moreover, the higher the number of screws, the fewer clips they need, which means it would be ea[...]
