I wanted to change the HDD inside my HP Pavilion 17" for an SSD, but I see that they have made it absolutely impossible to do so. Laptops used to have separate panels on the back for ram and hdd, but now you can't do anything. Repairability is a nightmare. I wanted to tell HP myself, but all they have now is a stupid chat bot which only knows 2 words - "instant ink".

We used to add RAM, change battery HDD and wifi adapter in few minutes. Now not just HP, other vendors do the same, looks like they use Apple's book
Regards.
