    I'm thinking about getting the Lenovo Yoga 2. But from my understanding, it's only got a single band wifi. Is it easy for me to upgrade the laptop to dual band (preferably ac) myself?

    Also I saw on youtube there is an empty space within the laptop where I can add another ssd in addition to 500 GB HDD that's already within the laptop. Is this right and if so, the shape of the empty space on youtube looked weird.

    I've got a Crucial m500 msata 480GB SSD hard drive already. Do I need some type of adapter to install the SSD into the empty space.

    Finally, is this laptop fairly sturdy. I just busted my Samsung ATIV book 7 ultrabook so I don't want something that is too flimsy. Was thinking about a thinkpad yoga too but I need a regular touchpad as I don't like using that little red button they have. Can the thinkpad touchpad work like a regular mousepad where the buttons are at the bottom of the touchpad?


    Thanks.
