so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

Please post the supplier in Hong Kong for the 9-cell battery for the U100 and a part number if available. Thanks.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

Is it possible that you send me the PDF? My email is rick@activeworlds.com Thanks!
370348
Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

I believe they got the message.... Amazon took the 2gb max. off the technical description.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.
370352
I'm eager to hear what they say, please post when you find out! I hadn't realized this could be a problem, I just assumed they all had the extra slot. good thinking =)

Well I stayed on hold for 13 minutes for msi to finally end the call with leave a voicemail after the beep.I sent an email instead to there support and marketing dept. for an answer as this item is being marketed and sold with the memory upgrade on same page as the u120-001uS and u120-024us by amazon and newegg.so far no word or reply.

sorry, i can't say for sure how many this Amazon one has because i sent it back since it was windows 8 instead of windows 7...i do know that the ram comes in pairs (of 2g and 4g)...i ended up getting mine from dell which has 2x2g plus 2x4g for 12g with no extra slots so has total of 4 slots.I would suggest writing seller and good luck with that as they did not answer my first inquiry.

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT2KIT51264BF160B/dp/B005LDLVAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397079242&sr=8-2&keywords=SO-DIMM+ddr3. The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time. It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

anyone who says that a 2GB memory won't speed up your netbook don't know what their talking about. use the PC2-6400 800MHz memory. If you don't mind spending the extra 43 bucks then get it, you'll be happy you did.

According to Dell, This model max RAM is 8 GB. Since 4GB already installed (2x2GB), you have to replace them instead add more, there is no slots for it. And yet, you have to install a 64 bit OS to be able to use any memory beyond 4GB. 4 GB is more than enough for the toy. that is my 2 cents.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

My year-old XPS X8500-4726 system board has 4 memory slots for DIMM cards capable of speed 1,600 ns. Mine as bought has 2x4GB + 2x2GB=12GB. Users guide says max supported = 32GB, which would be 4x8GB cards. I have never had a hint of memory shortage, but if you need more than 12GB, you can go to 32GB. Enjoy!

What about the nc20... basically an nc10, but with a 12.2" screen? Newegg already has it, I hope Amazon will follow. It is 1G RAM standard, bu expandable to 2G and same 160G HD.

The usual answer is netbooks are very picky about the memory you use for an upgrade. Try to match the make, speed for the upgrade (might have to use real Dell or maybe Kingston). Here's Dell PN: Product Description Dell memory - 2 GB - SO DIMM 204-pin - DDR3 Storage Capacity 2 GB Upgrade Type System specific OEM Manufacturer Equivalent Part Number DELL A5622175 Technology DDR3 SDRAM Form Factor SO DIMM 204-pin Memory Speed 1333 MHz ( PC3-10600 ) Data Integrity Check Non-ECC

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

My machine has two 4GB chips, totaling 8GB. But the machine has 4 slots, so I could expand to 16GB without replacing the memory chips I have. In principle I could expand to 24GB by using 8GB chips. However, I use the machine for video editing, and I have a VM running Linux in addition, and I don't feel the need to expand, yet... Ronny

You cannot upgrade memory her due to it is soldered into motherboard. Also, this particular model has a 128 gb SSD (very fast one), not HDD. Forums says you can upgrade it, but it has specific interface, so it is hard to find a compatible one.

I just opened mine to put 2x4GB SODIMMs into it ... nope. It is NOT user-upgradeable. Memory chips are soldered on. SSD is mSATA so in the future you could presumably upgrade it to 256GB, but the memory is not upgradeable in this at all. Live and learn.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

Good question.I bought the same PC, just a step down though. The one that I purchased came pre-installed with 6GB of RAM. Amazon claimed 8GB was the max. I upgraded with no problem.From the experience I've had with Amazon, they're good about providing the correct information in the product description (I've only seen one instance where it wasn't). IMO you shouldn't have any trouble with upgrading.Hopefully this helps.
