I couldn't find a thread for this laptop to ask a quick question. I just took delivery and I can't see an easy way to take the bottom of the laptop off. The bottom wraps around the edges and just taking the screws out doesn't seem to cut it.

Anyone else opened it up to replace bits? Im looking to replace the HDD with an SSD.

Thanks.

Here's the user guide, check out page 19 that covers how to remove the base plate:

It looks like you need to remove the optical drive first, then after you have removed the screws there's a specific way to pry off the base cover starting in the top left corner.
