    Hello everyone,

    I managed to get an incredible deal on the BenQ Joybook S41 last month. I managed to get one with a 2GB RAM upgrade for just US$1000 when its market value is, in reality, about $1500. So, I am now thinking of upgrading my notebook with the $500 that I pocketed from that deal.

    Some very brief probing at the bottom of the notebook seems to indicate to me that only the RAM (and one other thing lying behind a big WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED sticker) can be accessed easily through the removal of a single superficial plastic panel. My upgrades will almost certainly be extending beyond RAM, so I'm wondering if anyone has a more comprehensive assembly guide for this notebook?

    Thanks in advance,
    Larry

    hi!

    I am thinking about buying this notebook too.
