Also, see the December 1, 2009 review of this memory by J. Santiago. He said that he installed it in his Samsung N120 without any problems.

I had called Acer tech support to ask about the different style numbers....If you are looking for a black 160gb 6cell the style numbers are different in different stores. Call and double check the 1800 that is listed online and give the style numbers...they will put your mind at ease.

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

I suggest you keep the NC10SE and skip the 110. The NC110 has a maximum 1GB of RAM vs the 2 GB of RAM that you can upgrade to with the NC10 line. I too considered waiting for the NC110 but called Samsung after hearing rumors that the NC110 would max out at 1 GB. They confirmed it and had no explaination why.

I bought NB505-N508BL 7 days back. Nice Piece! If you just want to surf internet, check emails, watch movie and listen to music there is no need to upgrade the memory. For better performance one can upgrade the memory to 2gig (DDR3 for new models and DDR2 for older ones). I upgraded to windows 7 pro and 2 gigs memory. My netbook works as good as a laptop. Note: Please don't order memory before you start using the machine, 1 GB DDR3 should be sufficient for basic users.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Try going on Yahoo and type 1215N memory. You will get many sites showing the upgraded memory and different prices. I have an asus laptop that had the 4 gig and transferred it to my 1215N then ended up buying from Crucial Memory the upgrade for the larger computer.

Hi - Yes, I should have posted that I also found out the 1011 is indeed the 10v. How many hours does the 3 cell last - does anyone know?In any case, I checked out the 1011 at Microcenter (hands-on), and found it to be a sturdy little number but they were selling it for $334 and were sold out. That's why when I found it here for $299 I thought it was a good deal. I would probably upgrade the memory to 2 G via Crucial. I think it sells for around $50.

In newegg.com page details for this netbook says 3.21lbs,ASUS page http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_PC/Eee_PC_1215B/#specifications says 1.45kgs with 6cell battery (3.2 lbs)I think amazon has it wrong

In my opinion go with the higher number RAM which, in this case, is 8G. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. It came pre-installed with 4G, then I went online, bought more memory and upgraded it to 8 myself. You save alot of $$ by doing it that way.

It should be compatible, but is actually faster RAM than the netbook supports. Just step the speed down a bit and it should work fine. Try: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231212 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145228

I do not know. You will have to either check your manual for the specs or Samsungs website. The specs will tell you if your machine will accept 8 gigs of ram. Some have a limit of 4 gigs. It will also tell you exactly what kind of ram it uses.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3 - 12800) CL11 SODIMM Notebook Memory Modules CT2KIT51264BF160B / CT2CP51264BF160B The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time.It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

I have never personally tested that limit, but I have no doubt that Microsoft is correct in their documentation that Windows Starter will not support more than 2 GB of RAM: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7 However, I also don't know if you would really "NEED" more than 2 GB of RAM with a netbook. Granted, more is often better... but how many programs would you really have opened on this thing? Right now on my desktop computer I am only using 1.7 GB of RAM and I have IE opened, 4 tabs in Chrome, Skype, Remote Desktop Client, Windows Explorer windows, Task Manager, Google Talk, One Note, VPN client, Windows Live Mesh, and antivirus software. Now I am not saying that you don't want to add as much RAM as you can (within reason) but if you spend another $65 on top of the price of this laptop that puts you at just shy of $400 then if you need to upgrade out of Windows Starter that puts you closer to $480 or so for the total cost. At that point you might be better off starting to look at other options and or re-evaluating your needs for a netbook. For $480 you could get an HP D1MZ that has a faster processor, faster and bigger hard drive, already runs Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium, and has a slightly larger monitor. Granted, that is really a "higher class" of Netbook, almost an ultra portable laptop more than a netbook... All that being said, I still fully intend to purchase this computer (I keep waiting for them to come out with a different color.... my daughter would be thrilled with a red option since I know she will be using this more than I will be) and from what I have seen it appears to be a great machine. Just something to keep in mind if you are going to start adding upgrades, you might be pricing yourself into a different "class" of netbooks/ultra portable laptops.

I just received my Netbook and I am not really a "computer whiz", so I'm not sure what all the talk is about the rebate or DVD drive. What do I need to do to take advantage of the offer? Also, does upgrading to 2gb have anything to do with the speed of the computer or just additional memory?
