MSI Wind U120 tops out at 1GB of RAM
The MSI Wind U120 is a lot like the original MSI Wind U100. It ships with Windows XP, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, and 1GB of RAM. But while the Wind U100 accepts up to 2GB of RAM, it turns out there’s no easy way to upgrade the RAM in the newer model. I’ve […]

Japanese computer distributor Mouse Computer has released a new Intel Atom-based netbook that looks an awful lot like the last mini-laptop we saw from Mouse. But unlike the previously announced LB-1500, the new Illyama netbook doesn’t have an optical disk drive. That’s not to say that it’s your average netbook. Sure, it’s got a 1.6GHz […]

Bet you didn’t know netbook speakers were upgradable
OK, technically I don’t think any laptop maker would advise you to rip apart your computer, cut the speaker cable, remove the tiny built in speakers and repalce them with another tiny but higher quality speaker.
