    I've been searching for information on this but so far haven't come up with anything. Is the hard drive in the P100/P105 user upgradeable, and if so, is there any good documentation out there on doing this?

    I am wondering about this also. Unlike my HP's HD where you can access it readily at the bottom of the laptop with just a screwdriver (takes less than a minute to swap out the HD), I didn't see it under my Toshiba. Maybe Toshiba just didn't label one of the many accessible panels under my laptop.

    Yeah. I noticed in the review here of the P105-S912 by HexiumVII ( http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3093), he included a photo with some of the access ports off:

    I was thinking that the thing in the upper left-hand corner looks like that would be the hard drive (in which case it seems like it wouldn't be that difficult to upgrade the hard drive), but I can't tell for sure. Anyone with more experience know if that looks like it would be the hard drive?
