Inside Lenovo ThinkPad L590 – disassembly and upgrade options
Stuff like a spill-resistant keyboard, wide I/O selection, and a reasonable price tag may be good enough for you to buy this notebook. However, keep in mind that its body is made entirely out of plastic and has no Thunderbolt connectivity.

1. Remove the bottom plate
Getting inside this laptop requires the unscrewing of its nine Phillips-head screws. The good thing about it is that Lenovo designed the laptop in such a way, that they stay attached to the bottom panel.
2. Battery
Despite the modest 45Wh capacity, we found out that the battery life on this device is more than acceptable. Should you need to change it, there are three marked Phillips-head screws that keep it in place.
3. Memory and storage
Thankfully, Lenovo provides you with two RAM DIMMs that support up to 32GB of DDR4 memory. As of the storage – well, our unit had an M.2 SSD that is mounted inside of the 2.5″ drive tray. If you need to switch it for a SATA disk you need to get rid of the M.2 device… or it just seems like that.
4. Cooling system
Expectedly, the cooling solution does not present anything interesting – just a single heat pipe that goes all the way around the fan, to help it push air from the side of the chassis.
