1. Remove the bottom plate

To get inside of this laptop, you need to undo 12 Torx-head screws. After that, just pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from one of the front edges.


2. Battery, memory, and storage

Upgradability here is a bit of a mixed bag. On one side, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, and you can only configure it with up to 16GB before purchase. However, the storage options include two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, which is pretty nice.

As for the battery, you get a 58.75Wh unit.


3. Cooling system

Once inside, you can see the cooling solution, which employs two heat pipes. They are cooling both the CPU and the dedicated Intel GPU. Also, the fan seems to be pretty beefy.
