Obviously, this price makes quibbling seem silly, but FWIW for folks so inclined, you have to remove the keyboard and top cover to swap out the disk drive (upgrading to an SSD, for example), and upgrading the RAM requires removing the system board.
I don't see it as a laptop a person would think of purchasing to do upgrades on. And anymore many laptop it this class don't tend themselves to quick EZ upgrades, made more like a cellphone or iPod compact and challenging.
Would make a nice HS or College student machine without breaking the bank, perhaps that depends on the battery which spec sheet shows 4hr's. While agreed an SSD would be a nice upgrade making it a little more travel tough, I see 750Gb is overkill given what I'd consider it use for.
Having scrapped a relatively new HP because of a bad motherboard, I'm off HP's for good. The money to buy this one I already gave to a Technician to find out why the other one wasn't working.

Thank you! This was showing up as $187 with no code needed earlier. The code you have definitely works!
Thank you!
