    I want to upgrade to 2 gigs of ram when I receive my laptop. Are the places to insert the ram easy to access or is it like the dell latitude 630 where one of the ram modules go under the keyboard (which you have to carefully take out).

    I am pretty sure both the ram slots are on the bottom(bottom side up).

    Look at the Assembly Guide (At least for my laptop opening the keyboard is noway near as troublesome as opening the bottom of the laptop)

    So this video should apply to the S96s.

    The memory is on the bottom. You unscrew 3 screws and slide the plastic out. That's where the ram is.
