New Ultra-ish laptop
So I've finally come down to the realization that I will need to get myself a netbook/ultrabook. I have a customized laptop (i3@2.6Ghz, 8GB DDR 1333 Gskill Ram - added, 7200rpm sata hdd, M420) that I am going to sell. It was good for my program but it's too heavy for frequent travel and business stuff. So I am looking at these two:
Lenovo: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Yoga-11.../dp/B00IQEA8UE
HP: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-2-...11-n010dx+x360
I want to know if other people have been able to do the following:
- install 8GB of RAM. Regardless of which one I get, I want to install 8GB of RAM.
- replace the hdd with a SSD (probably my samsung 250gb ssd).
All I will be using it for is business related (word processing, number crunching SAS/SPSS, office, web browsing, listening to music). I won't be using to it play any serious games (maybe solitare or chess) and it needs to be this light because I will be taking it with me EVERYWHERE. To conferences, etc. Anyone know if I am able to do the two aforementioned items? I've never used one of these before.
Also if you look at the specs, there is $50 difference and it doesn't seem to make sense why. The configuration is almost the same.

I currently have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. Before it I had a Surface Pro 2, and before that a Surface Pro.
As for ultra-mobile computing, I personally only see one choice, Microsoft. The current machine is an I7 with 8GB DDR3 and a 512GB SSD. It's fast, light, and runs Windows. As a tablet or a notebook, it excels. From a business perspective, nothing else comes close.

1. way over my budget.
2. I'm not looking for a tablet. Rather I am looking for a micro computer to complete papers and such. Lightweitht, compact. I'm not doing anything intense. The majority of it is word processing, reading pdf files and web surfing.

Could you share a link where it's possible to find out more about this mobile-computing sample?
