want to know if hp split x2 from best buy for $549 can be upgraded. Says the unit comes with 500 gb hd. There has to be some ssd in the tablet. So I want to know if the ssd can be upgraded because if it can it would be a very good purchase

A quick search shows that the hard drive is a 7mm 2.5" hybrid SATA drive with a mounting kit. It can be replaced, but be careful to not damage the mounting kit (or you will have to get another from HP).

Ideally you would replace it with a low power SSD like the Crucial MX100. This would make disk access fast and increase battery life.
