I'm not sure what you would upgrade it to though. The specification page in that e-manual (page 157) states that 1GB is the most the netbook can handle. It's possible that the “paper” specifications have been dumbed down a little to comply with the XP Home license restrictions. Or maybe the device ships with artificial limits which will be removed in a later firmware update (as we have seen from other vendors). Even so, I think I'll wait and see how other upgraders get on before jumping in myself.

Another interesting thing to note on the specs page – there are three display options:
– 10.2″ 1024×600
– 8.9″ 1024×600
– 10.1″ 1024×576
Presumably the last two will be released later in a lower-cost model.

I was hoping the manual would reveal a little more about the HDD and how easy it would be to replace. It appears to be a standard 2.5″ SATA unit but there are no instructions on how to get to it. I assume it will probably be a down-through-the-keyboard job. 8GB and 16GB SSD versions of the NC10 were also mentioned – the SSD modules utilise the standard SATA connector and sit in the HDD bay, so they should be as easy to swap out as a standard HDD.
