    Hi, I saw one of these the other day and was impressed by its size, weight, and screen. Based on the posts here, it seems that RAM is easily upgradeable through a panel. Can someone confirm? I would also like to know if the hard drive is upgradeable easily through a bottom panel as well. Thanks!

    If you havent purchased a 751h yet and want an 2Gb and better specs youi may be better off just buying an AS1410 - you can find them for <$400 shipped...

    http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-AS141 ... B002LEVGMO

    Pretty much exactly the same as the 751h but also has

    Core2 Solo CPU 1.4Ghz (much faster than atom + support for 64-bit)
    GMA 4500
    2Gb RAM (upgradeable to 4Gb - 2x SODIMM slots available)
    250Gb HD (still 5400RPM)
    Wifi draft-N
    6-cell battery
    Gigabit Ethernet
    HDMI port

    + less people seem to have problems with this model (although I've never had any issues with my 751h - except the USB pots dont power down on suspend which is a big issue for bluetooth dongles)
