Just Ordered an HP Pavilion 10z
-
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—

- Other HP models may have insight to the process

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.
