MSI Cyborg 15 (A12V) review – there is so much power in its tiny 45W GPU

Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

There are 9 Phillips-head screws holding your bottom panel to the chassis. After you undo them, use a plastic pry tool to lift the panel away from the device.

Inside, we find a 53.5Wh battery pack. To remove it, undo the 3 Phillips-head screws securing the battery in place, and unplug the connector from the motherboard.

You will find two SODIMM slots beneath a metal shroud. They support a total of 64GB of DDR5 RAM. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which can work with Gen 4 SSDs.

In terms of cooling, you get one heat pipe, shared between the CPU and the GPU, with one more dedicated to each of them. In addition, you get two heat sinks, one fan, and some more metal above the graphics memory, and the VRMs.
