Inside Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (15) – disassembly and upgrade options

Yep, it’s 2020 and even ultrabooks can hold a 45W processor and a dedicated graphics card.

1. Remove the bottom plate

This laptop requires 7 Torx-head screws to be removed in order to access its internals. After you undo them, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, starting from the back.


2. Battery

As of the battery, its capacity is 70Wh.


3. Memory and storage

Sadly, the memory is soldered to the motherboard, and the only thing you can change is the M.2 PCIe x4 drive. Keep in mind, that Lenovo is selling the notebook in two configurations – 8GB and 16GB.


4. Cooling system

Since we have the Core i7-10750H processor inside, which is paired with a GeForce GTX 1650, we can see a formidable cooling solution, consisting of two heat pipes. Not only is one of them extremely thick, but there are cooling plates above the graphics memory, as well as the VRMs and presumably the RAM chips.
