1. Remove the bottom plate

To take this laptop apart, you need to undo 7 Torx-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, and lift it away from the chassis.

2. Remove the battery

Inside, we find a 71Wh battery pack. It lasts for 12 hours of Web browsing, or 12 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. To take it out, you need to unplug the battery connector and undo 5 Phillips-head screws.
