    HDD -> SSD
    4GB -> 8GB RAM
    Wireless card
    Overclock
    Replace entire system board

    That's literally all which can be done to any of the M11x's. Soldered CPU's and GPU's don't leave for much as far as upgrading goes.

    I just upgraded my motherboard from the i5-520um to the i7-680um processor and I am loving it so far.
