Hi Todd, a fixed battery is replaceable. If you feel comfortable enough doing it yourself you may; however, I suggest contacting the manufacturing company first. Sometimes fixed hardware can be difficult to replace yourself especially if the case is closed. In regards to the hard-drive question, both hard-drives are replaceable.

Hi, I have not had occasion to try, so I can't answer the question first-hand. Here is a link that says the RAM is all soldered (not upgradeable) and that the SSD form factor is not one of the usual commercial standards. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1903/3/ There are different hardware versions and revisions, so your mileage may vary, but I would assume not (easily) on both counts.

Theoretically, it can be used to replace your curren HDD. I don't know the exact specs of your machine but most current generation computers should be able to use SSD's. I would check with Lenovo too - you might void your warranty if you open your machine or worse, you might break your machine if you improperly disassemble it while replacing the HDD.

No, this battery is NON replaceable, unless your really lucky.. You can take it apart and remove the battery but you can't find the replacement for it anywhere. I took the one I have to a batteries plus store and they had never even seen that type of battery before. Even a google search brings up some asian website that would cost way too much for it. It's some type of proprietary battery UNIDEN used for this monitor.

The battery comes with the laptop and is sealed into the interior of the unit. As far as I can see there is no way to remove it without screwdrivers and some patience. To increase battery life I recommend installing an SSD in place of the regular hard drive.

I had to send mine back because the power key stopped working. It currently is dead due to possible hard drive failure. I don't have the heart to keep putting money into it, and the proprietary SSD business is crap.

Yes the battery is replaceable. Replacement is a Sealed Lead Acid Bat 12V 6AH, http://amzn.com/B005T8OI0G. To replace first remove 4 screws on the bottom to split the case apart. Certainly not an easy push and slide door but still accessible.

Thanks very much for your help. I finally succeeded to replace my hard drive with the 128GB SSD with the help of a technician.

1 RAM module is SOLDERED on board 1 RAM module is user replaceable. Removing the bottom cover exposes the RAM module that can replaced, the Hard Disc Drive, WAN/BT card and internal battery. The BATTERY is NOT hot swapable and CAN be replaced by those skilled in computers and electronics. There is no CONSUMER battery sold for this model. You would have to go to a PC parts supplier. The internal battery is a Lithium Polymer battery with an expected shelf life of 3 years before degradation.

The keyboard is back-list. The HDD is only replaceable if you disassemble the base. The HDD in the screen is embedded and not replaceable.

Definitely not easily user replaceable, the battery is soldered to the board. My battery swelled up after several years of service, so I broke open the case to recycle the battery. Never tried running from USB power only.

it's a SSD drive (which is what makes the battery life so long) ... am sure you could replace it with another SSD drive if that is the question your asking

No, the battery doesnt fix. It will come lose and fall off when moving laptop.

I have owned the Asus for about 3 weeks and run close to 4 hours before plugging in for charging. I do not know if the battery is replaceable but given a few minutes and a screwdriver I can solve all the world's problems.

Hard drives are almost always serviceable (replaceable) for most computers, including the Yoga.See this thread regarding ideas for changing out the hard drive for an SSD: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-13-Internals/td-p/1472366

It is a pain to change. You must remove the bottom. There are 8 or so screws and they are not the same size. Then you turn it over and pry it apart being very careful not to break the three ribbons {keyboard, power button, and touch pad} Then you must disconnect the ribbons to replace the battery. Hard drive replacement requires removal of a few more screws . If the battery dies and you can't replace it your self you might just want to toss it.
