And it happens to work pretty decently, as well.Check out all Acer Swift 3X (SF314-510G) prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.1. Remove the bottom plate To get inside of this laptop, you need to undo 12 Torx-head screws. After that, just pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from one of the front edges.2. Battery, memory, and storage Upgradability here is a bit of a mixed bag. On one side, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, and you can [...]
