Inside Lenovo Ideapad Creator 5 (15) – disassembly and upgrade options
A budget notebook bearing the Creator moniker. What could possibly go wrong?

1. Remove the bottom plate
What keeps the bottom panel in place, are 10 Phillips-head screws and some clips. After you undo the screws, just pry the panel with a plastic tool, which is pretty easy on this specimen.
2. Battery
Sadly, the battery pack is only a 45Wh unit.
3. Memory and storage
In terms of storage, you have one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, as well as a 2.5-inch SATA drive slot. And as you can see, there is one more M.2 slot, which is placed right next to the SATA drive bay, meaning you can choose it, instead of the latter. As of the memory, the notebook supports 32GB of DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode.
4. Cooling system
Expectedly, as this laptop is pretty much an Ideapad Gaming 3 in disguise, we see the same cooling solution. It employs two heat pipes shared between both the CPU and the GPU, as well as two fans with different sizes.
