1. Remove the bottom plate

To access this laptop’s internals, you need to undo a total of 12 Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the back.


2. Battery

Inside, we see a 63Wh battery pack. It lasts for 12 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing, or 9 hours of video playback. To remove it, unplug the battery connector, and undo all 6 Phillips-head screws keeping it in place.


3. Memory, storage, and cooling

Here, the memory is hidden beneath a protective metal shroud. You can take it out by removing three Phillips-head screws. Then, gently lift it away. This reveals two SODIMM slots, which fit up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM in total. The storage is also protected by a metal shroud but this one is way easier to remove. It hides a single M.2 PCIe x4 slot.

Now, the cooling is really interesting. There are two heat pipes, which are connected to a heat sink of regular size. A third one finds itself attached to the side of the fan housing, which is thermally conductive and helps dissipate even more heat.
