    Is anyone here familiar with upgrading the Sony Viao SR290's?

    Looking to replace my old SZ series with an SR290, so was looking at buying a base model SR290 and install more RAM and eventually a faster CPU and possibly replace the HD with an SSD.

    I know the SZ series CPU's & RAM were extremely easy to upgrade by popping off a couple of bottom panels, but the replacing the HD was a pretty tricky.

    I have access to the upgrade parts so trying to save some $$ on the initial purchase.

    Thanks!
