      @scottalanmiller I bet there is a way in just like the the macbook unibody have a way in. Just not easy. But These days there using thinner notebook harddrives compared to what you can pay an SSD in, so the SSDs won't fit. I've done it before anyway by taking the circuit board out of the metal enclose and just putting in in a non conductive sleeve. It worked well.

      I bet a mSATA SSD would fit.

        Likely will fit. Can I open the case is the biggest question.

          This is true. I know Apple does everything in their power to keep people out of their machines.. other than slates/tablets I guess I hadn't noticed this on the more traditional laptops (or even Chromebooks - are they too glued together more often than not?).

            Most all net books are solid chassis design.

              @Dashrender It's not that hard to get into any apple device. All of them are just torx screws including the newest macbook pro's.

                I recently worked on one of those all in one 27" display macs.. the front glass is held in place by magnets, use a suction cup to pull it off, then just start removing screws.. that was pretty cool - for a mac. 😜

                  Oh nice. That's impressive.

                    It was surprisingly easy to take apart.. though I didn't read enough (and the page that told me how to 'get to' the HDD didn't tell me how to remove it.

                    The HDD is installed on a sled.. you push the black plastic on the sled, then the whole drive just leans out....

                    Instead I made my own tool to unscrew the drive while it was installed.. oh well - I now know better for next time.

                      Looks like not a bad netbook for simple browsing and email. Pretty weak for much else.

                        Certainly inexpensive.

                        Thought iFixIt might have had a take-apart guide for it. Alas, not yet—

                          I don't believe it has been out more than a few days. The ship date was far enough out that we think that we might be in the first week of shipments, perhaps.
