 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the 2023 AMD version of the HP Victus 16 S40s. To gain access to the internals, you have to undo 8 Phillips head screws. After that, you can begin popping the plate with a thin prying tool, starting from the back of the device.

The battery in this device is the default 70 watt hour model, and you can also get the optional 83 watt hour variant. To remove the battery, detach the connector from the motherboard and undo the 6 Phillips head screws that are keeping the unit in place. The base capacity is enough for 10 hours of either web browsing or video playback. That's a good result for a gaming laptop. To achieve this, you have to disable the fan always on function in the BIOS and select the hybrid GPU mode in order to use the iGPU when the power adapter isn't plugged in. The two Sodims can handle up to 32 GB of DDR5, 5600 MHz RAM in dual channel mode. For storage, there is just one M.2 slot, compatible with Gen4 SSDs. The pre-installed NVMe is protected by a metal shroud that has a thin thermal pad on the inside. The cooling system looks good. It comprises two fans and two thick heat pipes shared between the processor and the video card. The third pipe is for cooling the GPU. We can spot three heat sinks and three heat spreaders.
