    So I'm thinking of getting a CTO SB and I was just curious if swapping out the hard drive and ram is possible and if it is fairly simple.

    Thanks.

    Very easy. HDD, RAM, and internal battery are hidden under a panel on the bottom that is easily removable with a couple of screws.

    Your RAM will have 4GB soldered in with one extra dimm. So if you buy the 4GB CTO, you can just buy an extra 4GB DDR3 stick and you'll be good to go. (This is the case for all SB/SC)
