 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media, and today we will show you how to open the Asus VivoBook 17, F-1704, X-1704. For accessing the internals, you need to undo 11 Phillips-head screws. With that out of the way, you can pry the bottom panel with the aid of a plastic tool. One of the top two corners is the best starting point.

Here we have a 50 watt hour battery. It's important to pull out the connector from the main board. Then, you can unscrew the four Phillips-head screws that are keeping the unit in place. The battery has enough juice for 7 hours and 9 minutes of either web browsing or video playback. This laptop is available with 4 or 8 GB of soldered DDR4 RAM. Luckily, there is one Sodium 4 memory expansion for up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode. Keep in mind that the stick is rated at 3200 MHz, but it operates at 2666 MHz frequency. Storage-wise, there is one M.2 slot for Gen4 SSDs. The cooling is really simple. It comprises one fan, one long heat pipe, a single heat sink, and a heat spreader.
