1. Remove the bottom plate

The first thing you need to do is to remove the bottom panel. To do so, you need to undo 11 Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the panel with a plastic tool and lift it away from the chassis.


2. Battery

Inside, you will see a 53Wh battery pack. It lasts for about 11 hours of either Web browsing or video playback. To remove it, just unplug the battery connector from the motherboard. There might be some Phillips-head screws too.


3. Memory and storage

Unfortunately, the memory here is soldered to the motherboard. On the other hand, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot for storage.


4. Cooling system

The cooling comprises two heat pipes, a medium-sized heat sink, and a fan. Furthermore, the VRMs have a heat spreader, which manages their thermals.
