Upgrade paths

RAM

2 GB, soldered to the board · No SO-DIMM slot; the 2 GB was a real bottleneck even for Chrome OS tab-switching at the time. Later revisions shipped 4 GB but as a fixed factory config, not a field upgrade.

storage

16 GB SSD, fixed · SSD is soldered/non-standard, not a swappable mSATA or M.2 module. Cloud storage (Drive) was HP's answer to the small local capacity.

LOCKED

battery

OEM replacement 4-cell pack · Battery is internal, under the bottom cover, held by screws and adhesive. Reviewers flagged the ~4 hour runtime as the machine's weakest point; a swap helps but doesn't fix the underlying cell capacity.
