Inside Lenovo ThinkPad X13 – disassembly and upgrade options
This notebook is a premium business alternative, but its upgrade options are quite limited.

1. Remove the bottom plate
Traditionally, the Thinkpads are pretty easy to disassemble. And this laptop is not an exclusion. There are 5 Phillips-head screws you need to undo. Then, start the prying process from the spots beneath the hinges.
2. Battery
Battery-wise there is a 48Wh unit.
3. Memory and storage
Sadly, all of the memory is soldered to the motherboard. However, the model comes pre-equipped with either 8, 16, or 32GB of memory, but it is frustrating that you can only make this choice before you make the purchase. On the bright side, the laptop has an M.2 slot that supports PCIe x4 drives.
4. Cooling system
Cooling this processor, there are a single medium-sized heat pipe and a rather small fan.
