I've always been a desktop guy, and always built my own PCs. But I have rarely ever opened up a laptop to fiddle with it. The only time I fiddled with something like that was a few years ago when I opened up an Atom netbook to extract the HDD out of it. Space was so tight and the stupid cable was so fragile that I tore the cable right off the HDD / plug.

i've swapped out my HDD for an SSD before in my laptop. the HDD was thicker than the SSD, but luckily the SSD came with a spacer that helped prop it up. you can also, find a laptop with a CD drive, and swap out the CD drive for a SSD
