    Has anyone upgraded memory in the W2W? Specifically slot 1. Removing the keyboard on the W2W appears to be a bit different than most ASUS notebooks. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Figured it out myself. The procedure involves removing the battery and a total of 13 (yes 13!) screws to remove the plastic cover above the keyboard. Lift out the keyboard, memory slot 1 is under a protective flap. Replace memory. Keyboard requires a little flexing to remove and replace. Snap the cover back in place. I suggest replacing the battery then firing up the machine to make sure everything is working before replacing all those screws (13!) Once satisfied, replace the screws. Make certain to have the appropriate screwdrivers for the job. I did and even then still had trouble removing one of the screws.
