SHARP Actius PC-MP30 Ultra Portable

All righty then, I just purchased the smallest laptop that I have ever seen and I really like it... It's tight!!! But to the point, has anyone ever or does anyone know if you can upgrade the 40GB 4200 rpm Hard Drive in this laptop to a 160GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive? If so what is the make and manufacturer?Also what is the largest fastest Ram that I can install? I would like to install two GB of ram but there is only one slot, But power and speed are what I am most concerned with... Here are the specs on this Ultra Portable Laptop: Sharp Actius MP30

Check if the BIOs has any restrictions on HD limit, but any IDE PATA 2.5" HD should run fine. For RAM, the largest is a 1gb RAM stick, since it has one RAM slot.

 

pictures?

ive seen ssmaller than that but im really interested in small machines

i have a 12.1 inch and thats ace.

 

A lot of smaller notebooks use 1.8" hard drive which cannot be upgraded speed wise. Google the model number to see which drive it is. If it is a 2.5" hard drive, I see no reason why it cannot be upgraded.
