@jonolxxvii

yes, it does have a mini pcie slot up above the hard drive.

as far as i know, that is a working slot. it is not connected in any way to the SIM slot as the manual states the SIM slot is not functioning.

i have found that the internal microphone is not of the highest quality.

hope that helps

Hello humakabula1 :)

Do you know if an SSD can be connected on this slot ? can we boot windows from it ? this info cannot be found anywhere on the internet :(

@humakabula1 let me just add that the newer model with e-450 apu has the additional mini-pcie slot removed. And to say the microphone is not of the highest quality is a joke - it is absolutely unusable!

The video card, CPU and northbridge are all on the same chip.

the style of chip is BGA, meaning that the chip itself is soldered to the motherboard, there is no way to swap the video card.

thats a bit simple - on my netbook i have to take the top plastic off, then the screen, then the daughter board and then the motherboard out to change the ram. Not very convenient!
