Can any of the parts be upgraded without killing the warranty? Such as ram, ssd?

To access these components (memory and hard drive) you need to remove the rear panel. The panel is secured with a warranty sticker. If the sticker is broken the warranty is void.

No you cannot, unfortunately. Due to the size of the chassis the components are very difficult to get to without harming the chassis.

I returned mine after 3 long days of no tech support. Never was able to get any answers from the company. Blech. I would not be tha person to ask !

You can upgrade the Ram and SSD without voiding the warranty. I have talked directly to technical support at MSI, but only those 2 things can be upgraded.

Yes it is but we recommend RAM upgrade or best upgrade the hard drive to SSD.

Sean, Our systems use only standard parts, so upgrading is easy! Also, proper installation of hardware, that does not damage the system, will *not* void your warranty.

I don't think so. Mine has more ram and a solid state drive. Check out computer upgrade king to see what they can do

The RAM is upgradeable... though definitely not "easily". To get the back cover off you have to remove 12 tiny recessed screws that are strongly secured by Loctite. When i tried removing the screws using a jeweler's screwdriver set, one screw simply would not come out. I tried and tried, googled and tried again with several tools, but finally decided the screw would have to be extracted or drilled out, possibly damaging the case and voiding the warranty. So I gave up and sent the RAM back. Your mileage may vary. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the laptop.

I don't know the answer to that question. The PC meets my needs as is and I have never looked into possible upgrades. Sorry.

Not out of the box, but the upgrade key is fairly inexpensive and the process is easy. This isn't a Dell provided custom solution like you'd build from the website, it comes in full retail packaging it's mass produced to this spec.

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

hello, Asus told me that I can upgrade to 256gb ssd. I am planning to upgrade in the future when the ssd have a better price. I think it's a good buy

It is integrated, you cannot replace it. If you need to upgrade cpu, replace the whole thing...

That configuration is not offered from the factory as of the time of this answer, but you can upgrade the SSD and the RAM. There is a Youtube video currently available to show you how to do that. You will void your warranty if you open the unit to upgrade it. Also, you can add an SDHC card if you need more local storage space.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

It can be upgraded up to 32RAM, you might need to go through their web site to custom build. You can modify just about everything. You'd want to make sure cracking the case and doing it yourself would not void the warranty if you try that.

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.
