You may need a certain-level BIOS on the laptop for it to work, and you may also need a certain-level power brick too. This may be enough to dissuade some from doing so. You then power down, unplug and pull the battery out.
Eurocom warns you should also take the usual ESD precautions, and wear a grounding strap. You can a live high-risk life we do and just do it without any of that, but at least discharge any built-up static electricity in your body, and rethink doing it on the retro shag carpet you just installed on a low-humidity day.
On the PEM, remove four screws and slide off the bottom cover. In pure performance, the quad-core Ivy Bridge chip is just as fast as a similarly priced Haswell quad-core chip.
