1. Remove the bottom plate

Getting inside this laptop is really easy. Just undo the 5 Torx-head screws holding the bottom panel in place, and pry it with a plastic tool, starting from the back.


2. Remove the battery

Here, you get an 83Wh battery pack. It lasts for 12 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing, or about 12 hours of video playback. To take it out, undo the 8 Phillips-head screws, and unplug the battery connector from the motherboard.


3. Upgrade memory and storage

To access the memory, remove the metal shroud. This will reveal two SODIMM slots, which work with DDR5 RAM. Storage-wise, you get two M.2 PCIe x4 slots both of which support Gen 4 SSDs.


4. Cooling system

The cooling comprises a vapor chamber and an additional heat pipe, which goes to a side-mounted heat sink. In addition, there are two fans and two more heat sinks.
