1. Remove the bottom plate
Getting inside this notebook is extremely easy. Just undo 4 Torx-head screws from the bottom panel, and pry it with a plastic tool.
2. Remove the battery
Inside, we find an 83Wh battery pack. It lasts for nearly 13 hours of Web browsing, or 10 hours of video playback on a single charge. To take it out, unplug the connector from the motherboard, and undo all 8 Phillips-head screws that keep it in place.
