Hello. I am thinking about buying a 13.3" computer. I want it to have an SSD but those models cost from 1000€, much more than I want to spend for an office computer.
I had thought about the typical N3540 but they all have a mechanical disk. My idea was to get the computer and then change the disk to an SSD. But I doubt what would happen with the warranty. Would I lose it completely?
Thank you.

You shouldn't have any problems with the warranty.
If, unfortunately, you had to assert it in the future, it would be enough to put the original unit back (unless you are going to keep it, in which case it would be enough to remove the SSD(s)).To be on the safe side, and since each brand has its quirks, inform yourself first by consulting the brand's own service, but at most they will urge you to have the operation carried out at an authorized center.

Hello,
If there is any seal or sticker to remove, it is possible that you can. If not, you can change it with great precision and care not to scratch anything, so that if the day comes when you have to send it to warranty, it is not noticeable that it has been tampered with.
Best regards

The thing is that in all the laptops I have opened, the first time I did it the screws made a kind of 'click'. And on all the screws there is a kind of blue paint. So I suppose it is a system to prove that a screw has been removed at some point.
Is it like that or does that paint have nothing to do with the warranty seal?
Anyway, when I decide on the model, I will consult with the manufacturer.

It is a lacquer that is used to fix the screw, in some hardware stores and DIY centers they sell it (screw fixer).
The fact that it is blue is due to its hardness (medium).
It costs about 5 leros. -
Inform yourself well beforehand because some brands put on stickers that break. A friend didn't realize it and lost the warranty that way, even though it was a cloned PC assembled by the store.
