I would have to say upgrading an Asus 90x or 1000x is easier there is one panel access to the memory, HDD, and the wireless card.

#1 and #4 recommend 1GB upgrades or more, but at the low end of 1GB, this is a poor value for your dollar. stick to buying the 512MB model, and putting the 2GB chip in. It is very easy to do, only 1 philips screw blocks your path.

Lenovo is making a serious mistake in offering this model. The cost of DRAM is so, so cheap, that one with 512MG or 1 GB cost almost the same. There are many people who don't feel comfortable upgrading the DRAM themselves, so they may just pass this one.
No wonder Asus outsells the others by so much.

The Dell mini 9 is very easy to upgrade also, although one needs to go a step further and remove two screws instead of one. With a 2Gb chip installed the system is much more responsive. I also turned off indexing and compression. Pretty sweet despite the quirky keyboard, which is the only downfall in my opinion. I really like the look and keyboard of the new HP (black) unit, but too quirky for the price. Maybe when the dual core atoms hit the shelves that might be worth investigating again.

I think if you don't mind the price and the fact that it has such a small hdd. I still think IMO that the asus, samsung, and acer are the leaders in the netbook market. They all have good speced machines for the price and features.
