Inside Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 – disassembly and upgrade options

To get inside this notebook, you need to undo 5 captive Phillips-head screws. Then, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool. We found it best to start with the top two corners.

2. Battery

Inside, we see a 51.5Wh battery pack. It lasts for nearly 23 hours of Web browsing, or about 16 hours of video playback. You can take it out by undoing 6 Phillips-head screws.

3. Memory and storage

Unfortunately, the memory here is soldered to the motherboard. You can choose between configurations with 16 or 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, running at 6400MHz in quad-channel mode. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which supports Gen 4 SSDs. To access the slot, you need to remove the metal heat spreader, which is held in place by two Phillips-head screws.

4. Cooling system

The cooling here is hidden beneath an insulation plastic. It comprises a single heat pipe, a rather long heat sink, and two small fans.
