you can upgrade the RAM (up to 16 GB) and the storage drive. You’ll have to remove the laptop’s back for that, which is hold in place by a few standard Philips screws (there are some screws beneath the battery and some behind the rear rubber feet, make sure you take care of all of them before trying to remove the back-plate).

Having a look at the internals, you’ll notice that accessing the HDD is not as easy as you might expect, since there’s a connector going over it. The two RAM slots are easily accessible though, and you’ll also notice the Wi-Fi module and the spare socket next to the CPU, which will take a Nvidia graphics chip on some of the higher end configurations.
