First things first. If you have ever had an SSD hard drive that your OS boots from, you may think this laptop is slow. However it has a standard platter hard drive so actual load times are not comperable to an SSD (as is to be expected). Otherwise if you are not acquainted with SSDs, the only difference you may see is an decrease in load times. It should be mentioned that the hard drive performance is not sub-par but rather on par with the type of disk it is.
SSD vs Traditional HDD aside, this laptop is unbelievable for the money. 1920 x 1080 resolution, ultrabook size and battery life, massive HDD space AND a touch screen with backlit keyboard. The 2 in 1 is an interesting but not overbearing tweak. The hinges allow the screen to fold all the way over. They're solid metal and will almost certainly hold up much better than traditional hinges. The touchpad is responsive and generous in size and the adition of the numberpad is great.
Quick note: This is a workstation laptop, the graphics card is useful for everything BUT higher-end gaming. But lets be honest, laptops aren't the best for that, especially for the money. This laptop is perfect for office work, video/movie, light image-editing, programming and technical computing work.
One last point, it is fully compatable with Linux (tested with Fedora 24 Workstation). Boots and loads flawlessly and everything works. If you wish to have a newer laptop, this is the ticket. If you want a newer laptop and ditch Windows 10. Look no further than this line of laptops.

Drops in just fine, everything is on board the tablet. I only wish there was the option for a bluetooth card. Otherwise, straight forward USB wiressles.

Can we exchange SSD ourselves ? Is it a SATA 3.0 ?
The bottom of the laptop is a solid back, no HDD door. So the whole thing would come apart however it might be possible the screws are not hidden but thats a guess. It is in fact SATA 3.0 6.0 GB/s verified using Linux commands on mine.
