No. They’re superficial on the lid’s rear plastic trim; hinges, thermals, and ports are 100 % intact.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes—both SO-DIMM slots are user-accessible (up to 64 GB) and a second M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot is free.
What kind of battery life should I expect?
Around 5–6 hours of light work or streaming; ~2 hours gaming on battery. Rapid Charge tops up to 80 % in 30 minutes.
