· The process of disassembling the bottom cover of the ASUS ProArt GoPro Edition PX13 laptop begins. · A total of 10 Torx screws securing the bottom cover need to be removed. · The screw located in the center is hidden under a rubber cap, which must be removed with a thin flathead screwdriver before unscrewing.

· The screw on the bottom right corner is a captive screw, which helps lift the bottom cover and makes the disassembly process easier. · Use a plastic prying tool to carefully lift the cover starting from the bottom corner to separate it.

· Inside the separated metal panel, you can see two dust filters and soft padding above the battery. · This metal cover also contacts a thick thermal pad for the system SSD, aiding in heat management.

· To remove the 73Wh battery, slide off the metal cap and carefully lift the connector's edge with a lever tool to disconnect it.

· After removing the four screws securing the battery, it can be fully detached. · This battery offers about 7 hours of 4K video playback, providing adequate performance for a laptop equipped with a 3K screen, a 16-core Zen 5 CPU, and a powerful iGPU.

· For storage, there's a single M.2 slot that can accommodate a small 2230-sized Gen 4 SSD. · A thin thermal pad beneath the slot helps cool the drive. · Due to the high-performance APU, the memory is soldered onto the motherboard, making it impossible to upgrade.

· It can be equipped with up to 128GB of 8000MHz LPDDR5X RAM. · The Wi-Fi 7 card is designed for user replacement.

· Despite being a 13-inch laptop, it features a quite robust cooling system. · Two fans and two long heat pipes are shared across the fin stacks. · A third heat pipe at the top connects the VRM heat spreader to the top-right heatsink. · There are a total of four heatsinks, with a central spreader handling heat from both the CPU and RAM simultaneously.

· Despite the tight space, removing the cooling assembly is straightforward. · Disconnect the two fan connectors, then remove the three screws around each fan housing.

· The Wi-Fi antenna cable on the left is in the way, so remove the tape and move the cable aside. · Below the right fan are two connectors related to the touchscreen. · Pull up the larger connector by its tab to disconnect it, and slide the smaller connector towards the fan to detach it. · On the top-left heatsink, a bidirectional connector is adhered; carefully detach this connector, which is for the webcam.

· Unscrew the four screws around the CPU and carefully lift the thermal solution using a lever tool to detach it.

· Finally, the powerful AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 processor and the massive 128GB RAM are clearly visible.
