1. Remove the bottom plate
Once again, HP has decided to play their favorite game and has hidden most of this laptop’s screws beneath the two rubber feet. After you locate and undo all 8 of the Phillips-head screws, turn the laptop around, open it and start prying the bottom panel off the chassis.
2. Battery
Our unit comes equipped with a pretty small 41Wh battery pack.
3. Memory and storage
Memory-wise you get two RAM SODIMM slots, which support dual-channel mode. According to some sources, they can fit up to 32GB in total. In terms of storage, there is one M.2 slot, which should fit both NVMe and SATA drives. Also, there is a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay.
4. Cooling system
For cooling, the manufacturer has used a very thin but long heat pipe. Thankfully, the sizes of the heat sink and the fan look decent.
