As one of the best business laptops for the money, the ProBook 455 G8 offers a good amount of upgrade options. Take a look!

1. Remove the bottom plate
Taking this laptop apart is pretty easy. Just undo all 5 Phillips-head screws, and pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool.
2. Battery
The battery inside has a 45Wh capacity, which is a bit small. However, we got 12 hours of either Web browsing or video playback, which is a great result. To take it out, unplug the connector from the motherboard, and undo all six Phillips-head screws.
3. Memory and storage
In terms of memory, you get two SODIMM slots that support DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot.
4. Cooling system
In contrast to the Intel model, this one features two heat pipes. They connect to a rather long heat sink, where a pretty large fan blows the heat away.
