Upgrade paths

storage

M.2 SSD swap · The SSD is a small removable module tucked under the keyboard deck, physically accessible with the right screwdrivers and patience, but this is an unofficial path: Microsoft never intended end users to open the base.

~$60

HARD

battery

Split base + clipboard cells; both glued in · Runtime is split unevenly across the tablet half and the keyboard base half, and both packs are adhered in place rather than screwed down.

LOCKED

RAM

Soldered to the motherboard; not upgradable · RAM is fixed at purchase.
