1. Remove the bottom plate

There are 9 Torx-head screws that separate you from the insides of this machine. After you remove them, gently pop the bottom panel away with a plastic pry tool. Ultimately, this would enable you to lift the plate from the chassis, and take a look at the internals.

2. Battery

Lastly, there is the huge battery, which comfortably takes half of the space inside the machine. You won’t be able to information about it unless you turn it upside down. This reveals, Acer has put a 53.9Wh battery in a super-efficient laptop. We expect a huge number when it comes to battery life!

3. Memory and storage

Sadly, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, but on the bright side, you still can upgrade the storage, via the single M.2 PCIe/SATA slot.

4. Cooling system

Quite expectedly, given the hardware in place here, the Swift 1 (SF114-32) features a passive cooling solution. It consists of a single copper plate, which has to dissipate the heat coming from the 6W processor inside.
