Connectivity certainly isn’t lacking, featuring HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 3.0 Type-A and an SD card reader on the right-hand side, the power connector, another couple of USB 3.0 Type-As and an RJ-45 connection on the rear and Mini DP 1.3, Thunderbolt 3 Type-C, USB 3.1 Type-C and earphone and microphone ports on the left. If you’re using a mouse, Ethernet connection and the power cord while working or gaming, they can all be tucked neatly behind the monitor; “out of sight, out of mind.”
The internals of the laptop, laid bare for all to see, shows two 50mm fans in each corner, venting heat out of the back and sides, all linked together through multiple heat pipes. At the top of the photo you can see there are two unpopulated RAM slots, the 2x 16GB sticks are on the other side of the motherboard.
The battery, boasting a huge 94Wh, occupies the vast majority of the bottom of the laptop, only being cut short to make space for the 1TB HDD.
The X5 V7 features two M.2 PCI-E slots, one of which is populated. The board only leaves the option of 1x M.2 2280 specification drive, so not useful for any other form factor, unfortunately.
The underside of the laptop is incredibly bare, leaving holes for the speaker outputs at the front and plenty of ventilation at the back to keep those temperatures down. The sticky-backed fold-out clips are located between those vents at the rear (that positioning provided an incredibly stable laptop).
