An everyday laptop that offers quite the upgradability, actually.

1. Remove the bottom plate

There are 9 Phillips-head screws you need to remove before you can remove the bottom plate. Interestingly, two of them stay attached to the panel, and as you unscrew them, they lift it up, so you can start your prying and picking from there.


2. Battery

Battery-wise there is a 51Wh unit.


3. Memory and storage

There are 4GB soldered to the motherboard, and you can upgrade with up to 16GB for a total of 20GB of DDR4 memory, that works at 2666 MHz. As of the storage – it supports PCIe x4 drives via its M.2 slot.


4. Cooling system

So, the cooling solution is nothing special – basically, there is a single (yet bulky) heat pipe that cools down both the CPU and the GPU via a single fan – something very common with these notebooks.
