1. Remove the bottom plate
To disassemble the device, you have to undo 10 Phillips-head screws that are placed on the backplate and after that, you can pop the upper plate of the laptop with a plastic pry tool. Then, you can easily remove it, but don’t forget to unplug the ribbon cable of the keyboard from the motherboard.
2. Battery
Actually, a 38Wh battery unit doesn’t sound bad at all for such a small and inexpensive device.
3. Memory and storage
Unfortunately, the laptop comes with soldered 4GB of RAM and that’s all – there isn’t another offer with a bigger RAM capacity and you’ll be stuck with this amount of memory forever. As you may already guess, an additional SODIMM slot is a mirage and there isn’t an M.2 port or even a regular SATA port. At least you have some “freedom” here – the device can be picked with either 64GB or 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. If you need more, you can use an SD card (wow) or you can hook up an external HDD or SSD to one of the USB ports.
4. Cooling system
In terms of cooling, ASUS uses a simple passive solution which is really modest but it’s fine for a machine with a dual-core CPU.
