Upgrade paths

storage

Soldered eMMC; not user-upgradable · Storage is soldered to the logic board, and Windows RT's own footprint ate a large chunk of the advertised 32/64 GB anyway.

battery

New OEM-spec cell · Kickstand hinge and adhesive-sealed back cover make opening the case destructive without heat and patience.
