Avoiding voiding a warranty
There are a lot of ways to void a warranty, opening up your laptop and trying to upgrade a processor or graphics card is one way. Upgrading memory (RAM) is a common task that will not void your warranty. As a guideline, if you're replacing a component that's not modular (designed to be swapped out and replaced with ease) and doesn't have instructions in the notebook user guide on how to do -- it's probably a hardware change that's going to void your warranty. Just be careful with what you do and think carefully if it's worth making a change that may improve your notebooks performance, but may void your warranty.
