 Hello this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the 2023 version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 8th Gen. If you want to open this device, you have to undo just 5 captive Philips head screws, then you can pry the bottom plate with a plastic tool, starting from one of the top 2 corners. You can also remove the stylus but it's not necessary. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. The connector of the battery is built in and that's why it's important to wear gloves to avoid short circuit. The battery is a 57 watt hour unit. To take it out, undo the 6 Philips head screws that are fixing it to the base. The capacity is enough for 8 hours and 20 minutes of web browsing or 7 hours and 9 minutes of video playback. Our laptop is equipped with the optional 4K OLED display so the battery life seems good. The memory is soldered but you get up to 64GB of LPDDR5, 6000MHz RAM. The same memory clock applies to the 32GB configurations while the devices with 16GB come with 6400MHz memory frequency. Actually, the RAM is rated at 7500MHz for all devices but it works at a lower clock due to platform limitations. For storage you can rely on a single M.2 slot compatible with 2280 Gen4 SSDs. It's covered by a metal plate that has a thermal pad on the inside. Next to the left side of the cooling is positioned the W1 slot for optional 4G or 5G connectivity. As you can see, there is one more thermal pad in front of the slot. There is another cooling pad on the motherboard right below the NVMe. The cooling is modest. It has two small fans, one thick heat pipe, a heat sink and a heat spreader.
