🛠️ How to open Acer Swift Go 14 AI (SFG14-I71) - disassembly and upgrade options

Hey everyone! Today we are opening the Acer Swift Go 14 AI. You can find the full review, benchmarks, display tests and more on laptopmedia.com. The link is below. Let's begin! Four screws secure the bottom panel. We are using a Torx T5 screwdriver. A thin plastic pry tool helps us release the bottom panel. Keep the tool shallow so it cannot damage components underneath. There is no seam here. The rear wall and bottom panel are one piece. Done! The bottom panel is off. Before touching the components, we disconnect the battery. The SSD sits under this ribbon cable and thermal pad. It is a 512GB Kingston PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive. The processor is under this cooler. Cooling uses two fans and two heat pipes. The soldered LPDDR5X memory sits under this metal shield. Now we peel back the tape covering the battery connector. The wires are also taped to the battery, so we lift them free before sliding the connector out. The connector is very tight. We work it out gradually from both sides without pulling on the wires. Two screws secure the battery. This 4-cell battery has 71 Wh typical capacity and 70 Wh rated. Only one end needs disconnecting, but we remove the cable completely for a clearer view. We release the locking tab on this connector. And now we release the connector on the other side. Now we remove the screw securing the SSD. This slot needs almost no lift angle. Raise the SSD slightly, then slide it straight out. This 512GB Kingston PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD reached 7.1GBps in reads and 5.6 in writes in our test. We slide it back into the low-angle M.2 slot. This is the M.2 slot for 22x80mm drives. Then we reconnect the ribbon cable. Here is the Wi-Fi 7 module and its two antenna leads. The Intel BE211 is soldered directly to the motherboard. These clips secure the memory shield. Underneath are 16GB of soldered LPDDR5X. No memory slots are provided. Acer offers 32GB configurations. Now we reinstall the battery. It is replaceable after removing its connector and two mounting screws. That is the Acer Swift Go 14 AI inside. The SSD and battery are replaceable, but the memory and wireless module are soldered.
