1. Remove the bottom plate and battery

Getting inside of this notebook is fairly easy. You just need to undo all 5 Torx-head screws, and then pry the bottom panel, starting from the back. Then, just lift it away from the chassis.

2. Battery

As you can see, the battery takes most of the space inside this device and has a capacity of 56Wh.

In terms of cooling, you get two thin heat pipes, a small heat sink, and a tiny fan, which is surprisingly able to push a ton of air.
