This might be a dumb question but I’ll ask anyway. I opened the battery compartment. Now, how do I unplug the battery? I’m afraid of pulling wires loose.
So no extra mini PCIe slot? It’s like every new Thinkpad is a downgrade from the last. and more like an Apple product.
What would you want to connect anyway? Also, this is a tiny 11-inch notebook. Really, what do you expect?
Thanks. I was thinking of installing a 256GB or 512GB SSD, and this article shows all I needed to know.
I needed to know how the battery cable was unplugged. Doesn’t tell me how. Completely useless to me.
