    Hi

    I'm looking to buy the VPCSA2C5E but want to be sure it is easy to upgrade the hard drive. I already own a 750gb 7200rpm drive so I am looking to buy the SA with the basic 500gb drive and replace it with mine. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the SSD versions.

    Is it easy to replace the HDD? Is it just a matter of removing a panel on the base and switching drives or is it more complicated than that? Some Vaios seem to need the keyboard and top panels to be removed to get access to the HDD bay and my expertise is not up to that!

    TIA
