i not sure if the 12.5mm will fit properly. and we have not tested this with a 1tb storage, so i cant save for sure it will work. there was another thread asking the same question and we concluded that this would probably not be ideal to do.

in terms of the gpu upgrade, in theory its possible to swap out cards because its a mxm module, but realistically you will need a heatsink that will match up correctly. different gpu have different contact points for the heatsink.
