    Maybe I'm just blind, but I find the Acer website to be severely lacking in many ways.
    They seem to have a very basic F AQ and support section, with little or no support for basic questions about part numbers, replacing Ram, flashing Bios etc.

    No biggie there..I suppose I could figure it out if need be. (I'm new to Notebooks but not Desktops).

    Now to the topic at hand.
    Why do they not have an accessory section on their website???

    Is it there and I'm just not finding it?

    Lets say I need a new factory approved Battery (or want to upgrade to a better one).

    What if I wanted a new Hard Drive?
    More Ram?

    Where do you guys get this stuff???

    I'm suppose a place like NewEgg would have something, but why doesn't the Acer web site at least have a list of the most basic accessories available, or at least what's compatable?

    Am I missing it somewhere?

    And if I'm not, could someone tell me where you would buy (for example), a new Battery or hard Drive for this Laptop if you wanted one?

    Don't get me wrong, I like my Aspire 5102WLMi, but where do I get even the most basic parts for this thing???

    They don't even tell you what Ram is compatable anywhere that I can see.

    Thanks in advance.
