I'd say hp, it is their brand, but go here it's all the info on your model. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=3184211&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us&submit=Go%20»
An hdd is always upgradeable until you reach the max they have to offer (type,speed, and size}, but you will have to reinstall the OS and drivers.Most laptop v-cards are soldered in so it is more trouble than its worth, but can be done, memory is limited by the MoBo and OS you have and are useing(google you make and model to find out the max in specs).Processors are upgradeable but make sure you get the correct type/pin configuration.
Physically you can upgrade the lappy, but the cost is not at all worth the effort. I would not recommend it.
