Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 review – small laptops are getting seriously powerful

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo 7 captive Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the back.

Inside, we got a 54.7Wh battery pack. To take it out, unplug the connector from the motherboard, and undo all four Phillips-head screws that keep the battery attached to the chassis.

Here, the memory comes soldered to the motherboard. You can pick between 8, 16, and 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, working at 4800 MHz. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which fits Gen 4 SSDs.

In terms of cooling, there is one heat pipe, a side-mounted heat sink, and a fan that blows the heat away from the chassis.
