1. Remove the bottom plate
To get inside this laptop, you need to undo 5 captive Phillips-head screws. After you undo them, pry the bottom panel starting from the top.
2. Remove the battery
Here, you see a 76Wh battery pack. It lasts for 23 hours of Web browsing, or 13 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. To take it out, undo the 5 Phillips-head screws, keeping it attached to the chassis, and unplug the battery connector from the motherboard.
3. Upgrade memory and storage
The two SODIMM memory slots are covered by a metal protective bracket. They fit up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM in total and work in dual-channel mode. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which can work with Gen 3 as well as Gen 4 SSDs.
4. Cooling system
The cooling doesn’t look particularly impressive with its single heat pipe, and average-sized fan.
