HP EliteBook 650 G10 review – offers capable cooling solution and long battery life

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

If you want to open the device, you have to undo 5 Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the top two corners.

Here’s how the bottom plate looks on the inside.

This is a 51.3Wh battery. If you have to take it out, detach the connector from the mainboard, and undo the six Phillips-head screws, that are keeping the unit in place. The battery lasts for 11 hours and 7 minutes of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 9 minutes of video playback.

Memory-wise, there are two SODIMMs that can handle up to 64GB of DDR4-3200MHz in dual-channel mode.

For storage, there is one slot for 2280 Gen 4 SSDs and one for 2230 NVMes. The slot for shorter devices also fits a WWAN card for optional LTE connectivity.

The cooling system is basic. It has one large fan, a single heat pipe, one heat sink, and a heat spreader.
