1. Remove the bottom plate

This is another year that HP is trying to confuse us with hidden screws. While two Torx-ones are visible at first glance, you need to remove both rubber feet in order to locate the four rest Phillips-head screws. After you undo them, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool.


2. Battery

This device comes equipped with a 51Wh battery pack.


3. Мemory and storage

It’s great to see that the laptop has two SODIMM slots for memory expansion. Additionally, there is an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage upgrades.


4. Cooling system

Last but not least, there is the cooling solution. It sports one beefy heat pipe, as well as a rather long heat sink and two fans of different sizes.
