Upgrade paths

storage

Single M.2 SATA SSD slot, up to 512 GB (unofficial, user-tested) · Bottom panel comes off with a small number of screws once the rubber feet are peeled back; the SSD is the only field-serviceable component. LG did not officially support the swap.

~$60

MODERATE

RAM

4 GB fixed · RAM is soldered to the board, first of many gram generations to trade expandability for the sub-1 kg weight target.

n/a

LOCKED

battery

44.5 Wh factory cell · Battery is glued into the chassis rather than socketed, doable but fiddly for a device this thin.
