    this is kind of short question - i have an offer here for the 8510p model for just 5000pln = 1379,8813 EUR = 1981,2181 USD = 983,6517 GBP = 2289,6917 CHF
    including taxes and shipment.

    the same shop offers notebook ram (2 sticks of ocz 667MHz model, 2GB per stick) for roughly 400,00 PLN = 110,3905 EUR = 158,4974 USD = 78,6921 GBP = 183,1753 CHF (kingston and other manufacturers also come at that price max)

    but, here's the problem, they have no option to mount the ram themselves (yeah, i'm a lazybones :D), so my question is this - can you upgrade the ram without losing the warranty?

    and furthermore, are those ram slots accesible from one covered side or would i have to disassemble the unit myself to get the access to both slots?
