does the 11.6'' have a place to add a jet drive (memory expansion)?????

No, it doesn't have the required SD card slot, only the 13" model has that.

Jet drives require an SD card slot for use, which is NOT available in the Air.. So, no, the Air isn't compatible with the Jet drives. (the term "jet drive" is a bit of an irony, as SD cards are generally slower than many USB flash cards, which can be found in very small sizes to fit into the Air USB ports, and are often much faster)....

I'm not sure what a jet drive is. If you mean a jump/flash drive, yes there are USB ports. USB ports can be used for external hard-drives so you could store more information if the 64GB isn't enough. Let me know if have any other questions. Thanks.

no but has a port area where you can either add one or use an external drive

No, but you can add a dvd drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MLZKAQ?ie=UTF8&tag=id10-20

Yes. might want a larger drive though, as most operating systems will want more space.

No, but you can expand the "disk" memory by getting a larger SD card. Also, you can add an external, USB hard drive.

Thank you. That seems to be the norm. I have a 5 TB i want to dock and cant seem to find anything

You can expand up to 8. 4 is good, out of the box. The laptop really works well when you pop in a SSD. That's what we do and we are very happy with the performance. Hope this helps.

Hi, This unit only have 1 3.5" HDD bay and it is already used. No more extra bay for expansion.Thanks, PCrush

I do not know for certain but my gut feel is no.The form factor of the air does not look like it has the room for this drive even with the size of the drive. I'd look at the smaller form factor drives that look like a memory stick with the connector on one end. They dont give as much storage but they should fit.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

No sir. Next screen size up has the disc drive. I haven't found a problem without it though. Good luck

no, it doesn't. it doesn't have an extension slot/bay for additional hard drive, optical drive or video card either.

That configuration is not offered from the factory as of the time of this answer, but you can upgrade the SSD and the RAM. There is a Youtube video currently available to show you how to do that. You will void your warranty if you open the unit to upgrade it. Also, you can add an SDHC card if you need more local storage space.

Checked Dell. The computer is discontinued. I takes a 2.5 inch SATA drive. I guess it depends on the health of your gear if it's worth it.

Yes there is a dimm slot to add memory to the unit. Not sure if it will increase speeds, but it would allow you to run more apps on the sydtem

I have this one and it's got a lot of room but you can't put everything the say it can hold in there, not enough space. If you're going to add lots of drives look carefully because on most case the drives will hit caps or video cards on motherboards. Try to find a review where someone says what they were actually able to fit.

Sorry it does not. It would be a nice addition though. Great laptop otherwise.
