Question 1

does it accommodate a second hard drive/ssd?

Accepted Answer

David W, you're totally right!  I didn't notice it was there with a metal plate covering it.  Just checked mine and it looks like you can let the drive sit loose (like the original HDD1 which only has rubber edging to keep it in place) or buy a special bracket for the additional drive.  The bay is there and so is an HDD2 connection on the motherboard, but no HDD2 SATA cable or bracket as far as I can tell.

Question 3

What is the generation of the processor?

Accepted Answer

This is a 4th generation Intel processor. The first integer in the processor model number usually represents the generation. This processor is a 4700MQ, so naturally it is a 4th gen. To look up specs of all the i7 processors, I have found that the wikipedia page is most helpful. Just google "i7 wiki", and it should be the first link. This website groups the processors in ascending age ( generation), and provides all the important specs...
