Inside Acer Swift 5 Pro (SF514-55GT) – disassembly and upgrade options

The Swift 5 Pro (SF514-55GT) is a remarkable device, with its extremely thin and light form factor. Naturally, though, this leads to some letdowns in terms of upgradability.

1. Remove the bottom plate

To get inside, you need to undo 11 Torx-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool and you’re done.

2. Memory, storage, and battery

Sadly, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, so you are left with the 8GB or the 16GB of LPDDR4x you purchased the device with. On the bright side, you can swap the M.2 SSD with a faster, or a larger one.

Our unit has a 56Wh battery pack. Interestingly, it is mounted to the chassis via double-sided tape, so if you have to remove it, make sure you have some tape at your disposal.

3. Cooling system

Ultimately, there is no difference in the layout, nor the cooling, when compared to the last-year Swift 5 Pro. Two heat pipes are taking the heat away from the two chips, and leading it to the heat spreader. Then, an average-sized fan blows it away from the backside of the chassis.
