Final Thoughts
  • The opening procedure is straightforward, with a clever design that represents a dramatic improvement over its predecessors.

  • The M.2 SSD is fully modular and easy to access.

  • Torx Plus screws call for relatively rare drivers, but our standard Torx drivers worked in a pinch.

  • Display access is well-prioritized, but must be replaced as an (expensive) complete unit—subcomponents aren't modular.

  • While many components are modular, intricate layered construction makes them difficult to service.

  • The firmly glued-down battery will be very difficult to service when it inevitably goes kaput.
