HP Elite Dragonfly G3 review – change of form, but not in heart
Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance
To open this device, undo the four captive Torx-head screws, holding the bottom panel in place. Then, pry the panel with a plastic tool, starting from the hinge gaps.
The battery inside this machine has a capacity of 68.4Wh. To remove it from the chassis, you need to undo a total of 5 Phillips-head screws.
Unfortunately, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. However, you can choose from 8, 16, and 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, working at 4800MHz. Storage-wise, you get one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, working with Gen 4 SSDs.
Interestingly, the cooling of the Elite Dragonfly G3 now comprises one heat pipe, two heat sinks, and two small fans.
