Remove the bottom plate After you unscrew all 11 Phillips-head screws and pop the panel open with a plastic pry tool. Beware, of the low-quality building material used all over the place.2. Battery While the battery pack is a 37Wh unit, we expect it to perform decently well with its 6W processor inside. Shoul[...]
