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.
