Thats not really surprising. It's a tablet, not a PC. If it is to function as a tablet, then you have to expect this sort of trade off in order to have something portable enough to be a tablet. If you want something fully upgradable, you should buy a PC. If you only care to upgrade ram and hard drive, get a regular laptop.
