1. Remove the bottom plate
In order to get to this laptop’s internals, you need to remove its bottom panel. It is held in place by 4 Torx head screws, and three Phillips-head ones, hidden beneath the back rubber foot. After you undo them, pry the panel with a plastic tool.
2. Battery
Here, we can see that most of the space inside is dominated by the 63.5Wh battery pack. By the way, before you start removing anything, unscrew the battery connector from the motherboard.
3. Memory, storage, and cooling system
Unfortunately, there are no memory upgrades for you. Thankfully, though, the soldered RAM is capable of working in dual-channel mode, delivering higher bandwidth, thus better performance. Also, it’s good to see that there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage upgrades.
