Then, you have to unscrew the two Philips head screws that are holding the unit in place. The capacity is enough for 11 hours and 7 minutes of web browsing, or 8 hours and 20 minutes of video playback. You can find this device with 8 GB, 12 GB, or 16 GB of soldered DDR4, 3200 MHz memory. The 8 GB configuration works in a single channel mode. For storage, you can rely on a single M.2 slot, compatible with 2242 Gen 4 SSDs. Due to AMD platform limitations, the slot is downgraded to Gen 3 speeds. There is a thermal pad below the NVMe. The cooling solution is basic. It comprises one fan, one heat pipe, a single heat sink, and a heat spreader.
