This likely depends on whether the device is slim design or not. My ASUS laptop has one oversized panel that allows drive and RAM access. It has a 17 inch screen and dual drive bays though. It's only 3 screws to open that panel up. My wife's Acer though is very slim and I have to remove the whole back/bottom cover. A dozen plus screws. Then remove the keyboard and top cover/touch pad to get to the drive bay. It's on top of the motherboard. Some screws are longer than others so I have keep track of what screw came out of what hole. It was a major pain putting an SSD in it.
