Hello!

I want to buy the new "Sony TZ Series" but those are currently in stores in Sweden doesn't have the SSD (Solid State Drive) option!

So, Do u think i can buy it like that, and then later buy for it SSD and simply plug it in?

What should i make sure of b4 i buy it to be certain that i can replace any of its components (Harddrive, DVD Rom) with SSD!

Hope i was clear...

Thanks in advance

There's nothing about SSDs that make them any different from a normal HDD (as far as compatibility is concerned). Just find out whether your laptop uses a SATA or PATA (aka IDE, EIDE) connection for the hard drive, and buy a SSD with the same interface. If you can't find a SSD you like with the right interface, you may be able to use a converter, but there might not be enough space inside the laptop for one since SATA plugs are a lot longer than PATA
