From what I can see by a quick google search, the laptop should use SATA drives. Being rather new, it also should have a hard drive tray somewhere underneath the unit. The underside of the laptop isn't a very popular picture around the net, so I can't say exactly where it is, but you may be able to find the exact location by checking in your manual or something like that.

From there, just swap it out with any 2.5" SATA drive. To confirm it's SATA, here's a picture of an SATA laptop drive (solid state, but the connectors are standard SATA)

If it had a row of pins rather than these two connectors, it's PATA/IDE
