Thank you for posting.

I think the battery life is a bit disappointing. After less than 3 years I can only use it for 4 hours or so. Thinking of buying a new battery, but I wish they would just have a model that would last a bit longer under normal use.

[@artisanbusiness1314]

where did you get those gloves, are they esd?

[@cygnae]

I see a NFC and another empty connector on the right of the battery plug, is there a way to plug something in? Also at the right of the wifi module. Can any of those be used?

[@drannoyinghv7297]

I wanna know the same thing, can I put another m.2 ssd next to the wifi module.

[@rastatekk]

if i trust my eyes the connector next to the NFC is labeld SMARTCARD there are models with SMARTCARD-Reader as well as models with NFC. But i dont know if both togeter is possible

[@pinklavender12]

I think next to wifi module is LTE module. I saw some videos from other reviewers.

[@cybeleon]

Is it possible to put a 2242 SSD in the WWAN port?

[@flaviolule3153]

it is possible?? i need to know

[@AJArmstrongTGH]

I need to replace the keyboard in my X380 - I have the replacement keyboard but cannot work out how to get the old one out!

do u still unable to do it?

[@Michael-he4dz]

Is it possible to replace a motherboard with a i5-8250U with one with an i5-8350U?

[@Incommensurabilities]

In theory yes however the performance is almost identical, is there a reason you want the higher speed?

[@Michael-he4dz]

@@Incommensurabilities just because my 8250U is defect. I replaced it with an 8350U, because I found one and it works pwrfectly fine.

[@aureyannaanderson3787]

Why is the battery still plugged in while you're unscrewing the other parts. Isn't that an esd hazard??

[@mansley1281]

quit trolling

[@aureyannaanderson3787]

@@mansley1281 yeah it's not trolling

[@dino9091]

​@@aureyannaanderson3787 You are absolutely right: Battery should be disabled in the BIOS before opening the back cover. Also, its connector must be detached from the MBO as soon as the cover is removed. He is waving with little screw which held the WiFi card, above energized MBO. It would be interesting to see what would hapen if that screw accidently fell over the battery connector / power input circui

[@kirkdarling4120]

What CMOS battery does this model use? CR1632? CR2032?

[@rdkirk3834]

The answer: CR2032.

[@clivejames9075]

how many dimm slots does the X380 have ?

[@jeffreyriggs1911]

none... ram is soldered onboard. I have one and wish I could add more ram.

[@Andurill]

@@jeffreyriggs1911 thank you... :(

[@yakuz74]

is it possible to replace the RAM?

[@WatchingTheo]

Zaz no its soldered on the motherboard

[@rrna7067]

@@WatchingTheo this is why I won't be using it

[@jeffreyriggs1911]

@@rrna7067 I have one for work and while 8gb seems ok, I sit at 6-7gb all day. wish I could up it to 16gb... running a few sql scripts, win10, outlook, other tools and yeah... hits hard.

[@nrojb]

@@jeffreyriggs1911 We have the same one for work, and I' at 95% RAM all damn day. I'm depressed to see I can't upgrade.

[@sowaky]

Was the memory stick the first thing he replaced in this video?

[@orribu]

Heyo, quick question! Is the SSD for the x380 attached to anything? I want to start with a 512GB SSD but I want to make sure the option to upgrade is there!

[@cyrillusventus1]

you cant it s soldered

[@justrandom7214]

Uh... No it isn't. You can see it in the video ... It is a standard M.2 SSD as far as I can see

[@sudheer316]

You need to choose want you want it has only one slot. 512 GB SSD can fit. But you cannot hace existing + 512.

Any way to add LTE modem?

why modem when u can put yo SIM Card In there

[@fogonroll]

You have to disconnect battery first!

[@rdkirk3834]

Or disable the battery first from the BIOS.

How to attach WWAN card+ antennas?

on a X380? Bro we have SIM Card Slot Under the SD card reader

[@pinklavender12]

yes x380. Thing is sim port is practically useless without wwan card / lte module + antennas. Not all comes with it. I think x390 comes with antennas but you need wwan card.

[@mynaturalsounds]

The Ram can't upgrade
