Only a 32GB HDD, 2GB RAM, and Windows 8.1? No, thanks.
Still wasn't bad for this form factor and price, besides you can often add memory to a system for less than the OEM would charge to include it. Same goes for another SSD, though it would be nice to know if there's room in the case for a 2nd (SATA) SSD and whether there's a free SATA port.
I suppose if you had to you could get a 1' long SATA cable and velcro the SSD to the top, providing it has a free power connector but it wouldn't surprise me if you needed a splitter.
Okay I just read a teardown review from atxgeek.me linked below... It has only one SODIMM slot so you'd probably want a 4GB or 8GB memory module. 4GB would probably be fine considering this isn't meant as your do-everything main use multitasking PC.
The SSD is a 42mm NGFF M2 mPCIe card, and a mount for a 2.5" SSD, but it is unclear whether they include the proprietary SATA cable (proprietary because it terminates in a laptop style ribbon connector on the motherboard) and I can't tell how the power cable is set up.
Anyway, there are several things you can remove from a standard windows install, and the OEM bundled software, to pare down the space requirement on the 32GB SSD, or add a flash card, or USB flash drive, or external drive though that seems the worst option since it would be about as large as the system itself.
