    I just bought a NP700Z5A-S01 and I'm keen to swap out the 750GB hard drive for an SSD. The only easily user-upgradeable component is the RAM - it looks like upgrading the hard drive will require removing the entire bottom cover. I can see a bunch of visible screws but some guidance from anyone who's done this already would be awesome.

    Has anyone taken their Series 7 15.6" apart yet?

    Oops - I just noticed that there is already another thread that's similar to this one. I'll go and check that out.

    If you have any specific tips or tricks, I'd still be interested in your advice.
