Hi,

Basically, the tablet is not upgradable. The CPU and RAM are integrated on the motherboard and not upgradable.

The hard drive is a special drive with a different type of connection than "normal" drives, so not upgradable (it is replaceable if the other drive should no longer work).

Hi,

It does not say upgradable, it says supports which means certain models in the series were sold with 8GB of RAM and others with 4GB of RAM.

If you look at page 64 of the manual you can see the various motherboards and the RAM they have integrated on them.

here are some videos of the PC
