Just bought this laptop and an extra 16GB and 256gb msata drive. 2 of the 4 RAM slots are visible, but have a copper heat pipe obstructing them to some degree. I did manage to get the RAM in, but it took loosening the heatnpipes a little and a LOT of caution well installing them. I can't see the other RAM slot at all, or the three mSATA slots that the sales guy told me were accessible. It did have an extra 2.5" slot which I couldn't find advertised anywhere. Has anyone had any experience with this yet? Or does someone know where I can find a "teardown" on the internet. I've googled it, but can't find anything yet.
 
Some laptops with 4 memory slots have 2 visible when you open up the back of the laptop and the other 2 are on top and require the keyboard to be removed to access the memory slots.
