I think those are the only things you can upgrade on it. I wouldn't be surprised if the RAM is soldered, but that laptop looks awfully familiar to one I worked on that had a single RAM slot, so it might be upgradeable.

 

If it is, I would get a cheap SSD and 8GB of RAM.

Quote me to see my reply!

CPU is BGA, so no upgrading that (at least if you dont own a BGA reflow station), from this video I can see that, you might be able to replace wifi card, along side ram and hdd but thats all you can do. (ALSO, some manufacturers like to put whitelisting on their BIOS' so that they will only work for allowed cards)
