Is There Any Way To Replace The Hard Drive With A Ssd?
I would like to upgrade my VPCL21BFX only, because this computer has worked flawlessly. I see no reason to replace it while it is still working, it has a intel 7 processor.I just want a better hard drive, and possibly more RAM any suggestions?

Yes, it's possible to upgrade to an SSD as well as add more RAM. You can find instructions on how to replace the hard drive here but I recommend you have a local repair shop or someone with a lot of computer repair experience do it for you. They can also back up your files and upgrade the RAM for you.
