Remove the bottom plate Getting inside of this device is as easy as undoing 10 Torx-head screws. After you do that, just pry the panel away with a plastic tool, starting from the back, and making your way around the device.2. Battery And what powers the notebook when you're away from the plug? A 56Wh battery pack.3. Memory and storage As a typical ultrabook, the memory is s[...]
