you can swap the hid for an sad, Google should provide videos. that way you'll spend less for sad upgrade, get size you want, and pick kind you want. vs buying laptop with sad in, charges twice as much as sad is worth, and gives you some crap brand/speed sad. I'd recommend Samsung 840 pro for 512gb or smaller. or Samsung 840 eco if you go 1tb route. you could buy the ativ 6 for 900, but a 750gb Samsung eco for 379, and then for 1300 you get i7 quad, 8gb ram, AMD 8770 dedicated graphics, 5 labs, 6-8 hour battery, and 750 gb sad. MacBook pro at less than those specs $2500
