First thing it is a Ultrabook, it may not be easy to open and worse
may void warranty.
You can take a look for yourself.

If you want to upgrade, best bring it to service centre.
What type of SSD inside? Best check with Asus about that.
However they will advice against changing the SSD
primary due to warranty reasons.
