Great write-up.
Thank you.
In the photo under “remove the keyboard”.
There is a second empty slot next to the wireless card. Is this where a second half-height wireless card is placed in a different model? Do you know what model features this? Can I solder in a header and attach a wireless card myself?
Thank you, it was very helpful, but as a noob in this field, it would’ve been great if you would’ve shown me how to clean the fan, or do I just have to blow air into it?
