After doing some extensive research and deciding to change around some parts on my M14X I have come up with the following information. Below you will find listed the parts that are upgradeable and what they can be upgraded too. Hope this is useful to those of you who are proud M14X owners.
A) Hard Drive
- This can be upgraded to hard drive or SSD drive of your choice. The only thing to keep in mind is that drivers over 9.5mm in height will NOT fit inside of this little beast.
B) RAM
- DDR3 laptop memory 1333mhz or higher laptop memory will work in this machine. Below is a list of memory I would recommend.

C) CPU
- Due to some contrary beliefs, the cpu is 100% upgradeable in this machine. This machine will support just about any Socket G2 Intel Sandy Bridge processor.
- I would recommend the Intel Core I-7 2920XM. (2.56GHZ, 3.5GHZ Turbo)
D) Optical Drive
- You can put in an additional hard drive in this slot if you so choose. Keep in mind the 9.5mm height limitation will exist though.
- I'm not aware of any Blu-Rays that will fit in here as of right now. The size limitation of 9.5mm is a large reason.
- Mine is currently upgraded to house an addition hard drive and I'm loving it!
