Opened chassis for upgrades and inspection

The factory seal is opened by engineers to install memory or storage upgrades and to run in-depth testing. Original manufacture warranty remains on untouched components while upgraded parts receive a separate one-year warranty. Internal access requires removing the bottom cover; take care with ribbon cables and screw lengths. No user-serviceable battery or liquid-cooling loop is present.

Verify power and peripheral needs before ordering

The 15.91 x 12.09 x 1.26 inch chassis weighs 7.94 pounds and uses a proprietary power adapter; confirm your travel bag and desk space accommodate the footprint. Ports include two USB 4/DP&PD 3.1, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI 2.1 supporting 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz, RJ45, combo audio jack and SD card reader.
