Inside Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14″) – disassembly and upgrade options

There are only 5 Torx-head screws keeping this laptop’s bottom panel in place. We were surprised that there are no hidden ones. After you undo them, pry the panel with a plastic tool, starting from the hinge gaps.

2. Battery

Inside, we find a 70Wh battery pack. It lasts for 9 hours of Web browsing, or 7 hours of video playback. To remove it, you need to unplug the battery connector and undo all 5 Phillips-head screws that keep it attached to the chassis.

3. Memory and storage

The memory here is soldered to the motherboard. You get configurations of up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, working at 6000MHz. As for the storage, there is one M.2 PCIe x4 slot, which works with Gen 4 SSDs.
