    There are suppose to be 4 slots? right?

    I heard someone say its under the keyboard? How in the heck would I get to that? To me it seems they wanted to make it difficult to upgrade if thats the case

    Anyway, I notice this when I was packaging up my system for a return

    2 slots, one where they normally are and another under the keyboard. www.dell.com/support has a manual.

    no notebook computer has 4 memory slots.

    plug your Service Tag number into dell's support site and it will give you more information than you could ever want

    Right, it's only 2 slots.

    Also, accessing the one under the keyboard is no brainer, you just need the right tools(make sure you have the right size screwdrivers or you'll mess up the screws). Think of it just like the one below the computer, but inside a large compartment(the keyboard).

    Follow the manual step by step and you'll be OK.
