    How easy is it to upgrade the HDD in a ZT3000 to a 7200rpm hdd? Also, is it possible to change the video card in it? Thanks

    Mesagsxbkr,

    Changing the video card is not possible, it's soldered to the mainboard, so get the unit with the card that you want, because there's no changing afterwards.

    The HDD is VERY easy to upgrade. 2 screws on the underside (just under the touchpad) and the drive pops out. 4 more screws to remove the drive from the "cage" and pull the connector adapter off (carefully, if you break this adapter, it's not available to buy). Pop the adapter on the new drive, put all the screws back on and you're done.
