    Anyone know what items in a FZ-G1 Toughpad can be upgraded? Specifically RAM and SSD.

    I only know the option port allows for Ethernet, barcode scanner, serial and USB port among others, and the cellular modem is socketed.

    You can only upgrade the SSD. It takes mSATA style SSD. I tested with a Samsung 500GB mSATA and works fine. You can also upgrade the WWAN card and WiFi/Bluetooth card. Memory is soldered. I think it is under some metal covers on the motherboard since I didn't see any RAM chips on both sides of the motherboard. I am talking about mk1 version. Not sure about the newer ones. Maybe SSD is on M.2 standard on newer MKs.
