Hi. Is there a Maintenance and Repair Guide available for this notebook? Is there a product spec sheet available? I would like to find out if the HDD can be replaced with an SSD and if the memory can be upgraded, possibly to 16GB. Thanks

Thanks for the info!!  Is it possible to install a 512GB SSD instead of a 256GB SSD as listed in the specs?

If the specifications of 512GB match that are mentioned in the guide except the capacity, It should work.
