1. Remove the bottom plate

To open this notebook, you need to undo 7 Torx-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool and remove it from the chassis.

2. Remove the battery

Here, we have a 61Wh battery pack. It lasts for 18 hours of Web browsing, or 12 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. To take the battery out, you need to undo 5 Phillips-head screws. Then, unplug the connector from the motherboard. After that, you will need to carefully untangle the Wi-Fi antenna cables from the top, and the speaker cables from the bottom of the battery housing.

Lenovo has provided decent cooling, comprising two heat pipes, two fans, and a heat spreader over the VRMs.
