Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 1 review – this is NOT a workstation

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To get inside this machine, you need to undo a total of 8 captive Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool. It would be best to start from the back.

Our configuration is equipped with the smaller 52.5Wh battery pack. To remove it, undo the 6 Phillips-head screws, and lift the battery from the chassis.

This notebook features either 8, or 16GB of soldered memory. In addition, you can add up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM, working at 3200MHz via the single SODIMM slot. As for storage, you get one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which fits Gen 4 SSDs.

Cooling-wise, we see two heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU. In addition, there is one heat sink, a single fan, and a couple of heat spreaders for the graphics memory and the VRMs.
