The front cover of this laptop has a matte finish that looks like it would be easily scratched. As such, anti-static mat is strongly advised to protect the appearance of your laptop.

Remove 10 screws from the back of the laptop. Please note the four on the bottom are significantly shorter than the rest.

Place the screws in a parts organizer to save yourself stress. Lay them out in the same pattern as the back cover. The lid of the iFixit Essential Toolkit works great for this.
