The Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 laptop is one of the first business laptops to feature DDR5 memory. During the disassembly of the laptop, we will remove the battery, cooling system, Wi-Fi card, RAM and SSD.
RAM
This laptop features 16GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 memory modules soldered directly to the motherboard. Therefore, if you want to buy this laptop, you have to be careful when choosing the right amount of RAM for your needs. You will not be able to upgrade the memory capacity after purchasing this product. However, with dual-channel memory, the multitasking experience of the XPS 13 9320 will be excellent. It is worth mentioning that LPDDR5 RAM is the best choice for business laptops.
Storage
The laptop comes with a 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Through our testing, we learned that the SSD is manufactured by Western Digital under the model number SN810: SN810. You can also upgrade it yourself if you want more storage space. To replace the SSD, remove the bottom panel, unscrew the screws around the SSD, and carefully remove it. Then, insert the new SSD.
Battery
The XPS 13 Plus 9320 comes with a 55W Li-ion battery with a capacity of 4524mAh, which seems pretty good for a business laptop with an Intel Core i7-1260P processor. If you want to remove the battery, the process isn’t as complicated as you might expect. Remove the bottom panel, disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard, unscrew all the screws, and then safely remove the battery.

Cooling Fan
The cooling system is located on top of the motherboard and has a large footprint. The cooling system consists of two fans and a pipe. In general, manufacturers don’t pay much attention to the cooling systems of business notebooks. However, with this cooling system, we can ensure that there are no problems with heat dissipation.
I have 9310, but I’m not sure if the 9320 mainboard will fit in. They look identical. I will try one day when the 9320 board is available in the second-hand market.
