    If you buy an Sony Vaio VGN-SR490 CTO with an HDD can you, in the future, swap/upgrade to a SSD, it's a bit expensive for me to buy it pre-installed now, but just in case prices go down, I would at least have the option to upgrade to a SSD, so does anyone have experience with this or know if it's possible? I've tried talking to sony support, but they're no help.
