Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To open this device, you need to undo a total of 11 Phillips-head screws. The one in the bottom right corner remains attached, and lifts the edge of the panel, so you can start the prying process from there.

Inside, we find a 90Wh battery pack. Interestingly, you need to remove the small third fan in order to remove the battery. Then, unplug the connector from the motherboard and undo the 4 Phillips-head screws that keep the battery attached to the chassis.

In terms of memory, you get two SODIMM slots. They work with DDR5 RAM. Storage-wise, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, which support Gen 4 SSDs.

Then comes the complicated cooling solution. It comprises two heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU with one more dedicated to each of them. Then, there is one heat pipe for the graphics memory and one for the VRMs. Lastly, you get three fans, as well as four heat sinks. In addition, there is a fifth one, which is connected to the top two heat sinks via a long heat pipe.
