1. Remove the bottom plate
To access this notebook’s internals, you need to undo 13 Phillips-head screws. After that, carefully pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, and lift it away from the chassis.
2. Battery
Here, the 53.5Wh battery pack lasts for 5 hours and 30 minutes of either Web browsing, or video playback. It is pretty easy to take it out, as you will just need to undo three Phillips-head screws and unplug the connector from the motherboard.
3. Memory and storage
Memory-wise, you get two SODIMM slots, which fit up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM in total. For storage, you get two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, which are Gen 4 compatible.
4. Cooling system
This notebook’s processor is cooled by two heat pipes. Three more are allocated to the GPU, with an additional heat pipe dedicated to the graphics memory and the VRMs. Two fans then blow the heat away from the device.
