    Which Samsung Series and/or ATIV book models have HD+ or FHD screens and end-user replaceable hard drives with SSDs? Need to be 15 inch. Looks like some models of each do, but I can't seem to find a straight answer.

    Thanks!

    None of the Ativ Books 6, 7, 8 and 9 have parts that are officially user replaceable because it is necessary to remove the bottom of the computer.

    However, there are no security seals and, provided you do no damage and keep any parts so you can restore the computer to the as-supplied condition should warranty service is required, then the warranty will be honoured.

    Books 6 and 8 are usually supplied with HDDs and, while Books 7 and 9 have SSDs, many people need more capacity.

    I don't know if any of the lower-numbered books have HD+ or higher resolution displays.
