What exact type and form factor is the main storage in the C730 N2840 32GB 4GB 30cm Chromebook? It's the 11.6 in the antiquated units.
Some resellers state it is an SSD, others state it is an eMMC.
The latter isn't much use to me.
The Acer site doesn't state.
Means I'm kind of screwed if I open it up to find out it has an eMMC.

I haven't seen much mention of theC 730. From what I've since found it is slower than the 720. I'm coming to the conclusion that the 730 never took off because Acer changed the SSD format that was in the popular 720, they realised people want to hack the machine so changed back to M.2 SSD for the 740.
Would that be a fair assessment?
