    thinking about buying this, i see a deal for it for $1000, a couple questions since i have never owned an ultrabook before

    1. how many memory ram slots are there? can i pop in another 4gb? is it even expandable at all?
    2. it comes with 2xSSD, can i take one out and put in a 500gb normal drive? i plan to reformat, install windows 7, run windows off the SSD and have the other 500gb drive as a secondary storage, is that even possible?
    3. any big red flags/cons i should know about before i pull the trigger on my first ultrabook besides a serious lack of performance?

    1. It has 2GB soldered plus 2GB in the expansion slot, you can remove the 2GB and add 8GB to have a total of 10GB.

    2. Up to 500GB With 24 GB SSD or 256GB With 256 GB SSD.
    There is one proprietary mSATA slot for SSD, and a standard 2.5" bay for HDD/SSD.
    3. You can find some reviews here on Newegg.
