Acer Swift Go 16 (SFG16-71) review – Ready! Swift! Go!

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo a total of 10 Torx-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool and lift it away from the chassis.

Inside, we see a 53Wh battery pack. To remove it, unplug the battery connector, and undo the two Phillips-head screws that hold the battery in place.

Here, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. You can get the notebook with either 8 or 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM. As for the storage, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which works with Gen 4 SSDs.

Cooling-wise, there is one heat pipe that connects to a long heat sink, where two small fans blow the heat away from the chassis.
