Without taking off the cover to visually inspect the SSD, does the BIOS screen on both devices give you any indication if the SSD is replaceable? Same question for upgrading the memory?

Only the eMMC SSD can be upgraded on the 14. Everything else is as set in stone as the 11. And no, there's no way to tell from the firmware display if the SSD is replaceable. You have to talk to uncle google to find out.

It's an interesting business opportunity if you can take an inexpensive/used CB and perform an OS transplant to Windows with an SSD upgrade. Makes it more useful and appealing to the masses.
