    I just ordered a n7010, 17r and I was wondering what can I upgrade without taking it all apart. I was wondering like hard drive, RAM, optical drive, wireless card, or screen, etc. Thank you for any resposnes.

    The RAM has a door, and the screw for the optical drive is in the RAM door. Unfortunately everything else is underneath the palmrest. The screen is pretty accessible, you just pry off the bezel. It honestly doesn't take much to remove the palm rest, it's all documented in the service manual.
