1. Remove the bottom plate

This notebook’s bottom panel is held in place by 9 Phillips-head screws. After you unscrew them you can pop the clips with a plastic tool and lift the plate up towards you. This will reveal a view that is not for the faint-hearted. How could Dell leave so much free space inside?

2. Battery

Then at the bottom, something that really could have benefited from the free space – a 42Wh battery.

3. Memory and storage

In terms of upgradability, Dell is on point. There are two RAM DIMMs that support up to 16GB of DDR4 memory in total. While this doesn’t sound like that much, keep in mind that the device can work with 3200 MHz memory modules. In addition to that, there is a 2.5″ SATA drive slot that has its SATA cable taped to the chassis and an M.2 slot that can accommodate up to 1TB PCIe x4 drives.

4. Cooling system

Despite the fact that the manufacturer had to redesign the entire motherboard, they still put that terrible, single heat pipe solution on the machine. Indeed, the heat pipe is thick enough that it could be placed in the G7 7790. However, cooling both the CPU and the GPU with the same thermal transfer element and only a single fan – not a good idea.
