 Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media, and today we will show you how to open the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 314 Gen 8. In order to pop up the bottom plate, you have to unscrew 9 Philips head screws. Then, you can pry the bottom panel with a plastic pry tool. One of the top two corners is the best starting point.

The battery is a 47 watt hour model. It's important to detach the battery connector from the main board. In order to take out the battery, you have to unscrew the two Philips head screws that are fixing the battery to the base. The capacity is enough for 11 hours and 7 minutes of web browsing or 9 hours and 5 minutes of video playback. Good. Storage-wise, there is a single M.2 slot compatible with Gen 4 SSDs. Due to AMD platform limitations, the slot is downgraded to Gen 3 speeds. The NVMe has a thermal pad from below. Here we have soldered our RAM, and the maximum capacity is 16 GB of DDR4, 3,200 MHz in dual channel. The memory of the devices with 4 GB and 8 GB of RAM is working in single channel mode. The cooling solution is simple. It has just one fan and one heat pipe.
