Laptop upgrades

Can anyone tell me how upgradeable the V3-571G is please as I'm finding it just a little bit slower than I thought it would be? If possible I'd like to double the memory from 4Gb to 8Gb, also I would like to swap the HDD for an SSD and finally maybe bump up the graphics. I'm guessing that the memory is the only thing I can change but if there are other things I can do I'd be interested to know exactly what I need to buy.

 

Thanks.

    If you don't want to void your warranty - you'll have to give your laptop in a service. The ram upgrade - you have 2 slots for ram - depends on what is your current ram - you'll have to get 1 or 2 x4GB. About the SSD - you don't have to 'change' the hdd. It's too expensive to have big SSD. You can install a SSD in the place of the cd-rom. You'll use it for the OS + virtual memory. And probably some programs that you want to load fast. SSD really helps Smiley Happy
