1. If I add an SSD will that void the warranty? 2. If I change the PSU will that void the warranty?

I cannot be sure but from my experience anytime you alter the original parts it voids the warranty. You should ask Lenovo and then be sure.

Don't think so. The vendor I got mine from had doubled the factory ram and that didn't void the warranty. Was considering adding a 500gb ssd to mine too. Fully read warranty docs and I think you are good to change it.

there is only one empty slot there, so what you should do is buy only one RAM, the bigger the better. And personally I think if you have some extra money buy a new SSD will be good, the HDD is really slow.

The motherboard has four memory slots. Only one is filled. Presumably this means that, yes, you can add more. This is NOT a quarantee that it will work. Of course the ASUS uwarranty says breaking the warranty seal on the case (by removing the side cover to do things such as add memory) will void the warranty. From their website: " The warranty will not apply to or be valid under conditions including but not limited to the following:.... c) The product warranty seals have been broken or altered."

MSI offers 120 days warranty for refurbished laptop. We suggest you to contact MSI directly if the the hard drive upgrade will void the warranty or not.This model has 1TB HDD pre-installed and we know some users want to add one mSATA SSD. We think it should be OK and not void the warranty.

Yes, but you essentially cannot use the SSD drive; it's merely there for faster boot up from what I've heard.

Brandon,Yes, to both of your questions. Please note that the proper installation of any component that does not damage the computer will *not* void the warranty on the system.

John Aho,You can upgrade the graphics card, or any other component, as you choose. Please note that any component that is properly installed and does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

No chance of swapping the ram, that is soldered to the board. You can if you are extremely motivated change the SSD (NGFF, M.2), good luck finding one though, they are as of April 2014 only available to manufacturers...

Reginald Nexus, You can upgrade the power supply to a more powerful one without fear of the increased wattage damaging the system. Proper installation of a power supply or any other component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

I bought that computer for my son, he loves it, no problems. Unfortunately I don't know what a ssd drive is, nor does he, so I can't give you any info on that.

I'm not sure, if power loss protection means an extra cable or adapter outside the SSD unit then no. If it is some inside component then you have to research a bit more

Yes some parts are user upgradable like the RAM, HDD/SSD, wireless card. Other parts are not like the GPU. Other parts can be upgraded by will void your warranty by doing so like the CPU. Did you have a specific part you were curious about?

If you order it, check the model that arrives. Mine didn't have the SSD. I called Amazon and sent it back for one with the SSD. Waiting on the replacement... EDIT - its there, just not user accessible, see below:

Not sure. It has held up under very heavy use thus far (for me, since May 2013). However, the SSD is soldered to the motherboard so it's not user-replaceable.

ssd life span should be a non-issue if you plan to upgrade every 3-4 years.it is almost 40 percent savings, why not? just check with the seller the working condition of the drive before committing the purchase.

Well Depends on your situation I would never do it I have a 240 gig SSD so why would I want to. If its stable not going to get bumped I might think about it at the cost. I can definitely check this out and see what happens as a gamer and system builder I have thought of it I haven't done it because of aforementioned. same for the 128 I got
