    I am looking into buying a laptop, but not a new one, a used one.

    I have been looking around and the U46E-BAL7 seems to be a great model for me. It has almost every spec I am looking for besides the lack of an HD screen, with a good enough processor and RAM that it won't be obsolete soon. However, I just have a few questions about it.

    1. Is it possible to take out the optical drive and put a hard drive caddy in? I'd like to have a larger drive for data storage and smaller SSD for Windows booting and program running

    2. How is the build quality for it? It has the ultrabook-style look and keyboard I am looking for but I would like actual build quality info.

    Thanks
