    I know this has probably already been beaten to death, but is the RAM and/or SSD upgradeable in the Z2?

    I bought a Z3 and whilst I love it, I would prefer the 1600x900 resolution on the Z2. Problem is, I only seem to be finding versions with 4gb/128gb on ebay etc

    it is upgradable but you will have a hard time finding the sony proprietary modules which do have a custom socket. No other type of RAM except these sold by Sony will fit.

    Ok, good to know, I did see some on ebay at some point. How about the SSD's are they mSATA or some proprietary crap as well?

    Not on any of the current models in the store etc. :(
