Disassembly, Upgrade options, and Maintenance

To open this machine, you need to undo 7 Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, and lift it away from the chassis.

This unit comes with a 99.9Wh battery pack. It lasts for 9 hours of either Web browsing or video playback. To remove it undo 4 Phillips-head screws that hold it to the chassis, and unplug the battery connector from the motherboard.

Here, you see two SODIMM slots, which support up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM in total. As for storage, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, both of which support Gen 4 SSDs.

Cooling-wise, there are two heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU, with one more dedicated to each of them. In addition, there is one more heat pipe dedicated to the VRMs and the graphics memory. Furthermore, there are two fans and four heat sinks.
