1. Remove the bottom plate

Eight Torx-head screws are holding this device’s bottom panel to the chassis. After you undo them, pry the panel with a plastic tool and lift it away.

2. Battery

Inside, you can see a 71Wh battery. You can take the battery out if you want to. To do that, undo four Phillips-head screws. One of them is hidden beneath the SSD located in the left slot. There is one more M.2 PCIe x4 slot on the right as well.

3. Memory and storage

In terms of memory, you get one SODIMM slot for expansion. In addition to that, there are either 8 or 16GB of soldered DDR4 RAM.

4. Cooling system

When it comes to cooling, there are three heat pipes – one shared between the CPU and the GPU, and one for each of them. Additionally, there is a fourth heat pipe managing the temperature of the VRMs. Lastly, four heat sinks dissipate the heat thanks to two fans.
