日本Inside Dell Vostro 16 5620 – disassembly and upgrade options
The Vostro 16 5620 is a rather sophisticated device that sits in a weird niche on the market. What is good about it is that it offers expandable dual-channel memory, and supports Gen 4 SSDs.

1. Remove the bottom plate
This notebook’s bottom panel is held in place by 9 Phillips-head screws. The two in the top two corners are captive and gently detach the panel from the chassis. This shows you where to start the prying process from.
2. Battery
Our unit is equipped with the larger 54Wh battery pack. It lasts for 10 hours of Web browsing, or more than 7 hours of video playback. To take it out, unplug the battery connector from the motherboard. Then, undo all 5 Phillips-head screws keeping the package in place.
3. Memory and storage
There are two SODIMM slots, which work with DDR4 RAM in dual-channel mode. Storage-wise, the laptop that comes with the bigger battery features one M.2 PCIe x4 slot with support of Gen 4 drives.
4. Cooling system
