    My new 9380-S came in last night, and so far everything is peachy with it. Thanks for the fast build time and shipping, XoticPC.

    One thing that is disappointing is that the manual that ships with the laptop has nothing in it about servicing the PC - no instructions or photos at all about replacing parts, opening the compartments, etc.

    I bought an extra mSata drive that I would like to install, and it is my understanding that the free mSata slot is located under the keyboard.

    Can someone provide instructions on how to do this?

    Thanks!

    If it's anything like the 9390 there's a small strip at the top of the keyboard that you just pry off and gain access to the keyboard screws.

    See here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...-sager-np9390-clevo-p375sm-review.html#access

    And the comment above the images:

    " Additional components are underneath the keyboard, which is not so difficult to remove either. Just pop the small bezel above the keyboard off, unscrew 5 screws, and lift up the keyboard to expose two RAM modules and the second mSATA slot. The CMOS battery, southbridge chip and plethora of cables are also routed under there."

    Thanks so much! I'll try this out and see how it goes.

    EDIT: Worked like a charm, no problem removing the keyboard and installing the mSata.

    You can also find the users manual on the drivers disc.
