@opisex The entire bottom cover can be removed (by releasing a latch in the battery compartment) which exposes all components - HDD, RAM, wireless card(s), APU and heatsink assembly. Mine shipped with a 320GB HDD, which I replaced with a 120GB Intel SSD. Since this can be configured-to-order, a preinstalled SSD is an option.
If you need something small for traveling, get one of these. It's better than most Intel-atom based systems. One thing I noticed was HP downgrading the baseline APU from an E350 to an E300. That's not exactly a good business practice. Haven't tried out games, but I expect to play most older games at moderate-low settings.
@CopyrightPropaganda Spec wise, moving the base config to the e300 is a slight downgrade, only in clock speed. It does move the system forward from the Zacate to the Brazos platform, however, and gives the e450 as a configurable upgrade for $25.
curious where is the HDD? integrated flash/ssd? what size?
