Re/ C720: There are detailed information and patches how to install HEAD on a C720; I found a video in Youtube about updating the SSD to 128 GByte and checked the price of such SSD (around 100 Euro). The video as well shows the RAM soldered as 4 chips. But, I think for the purpose (netbook) 2 Gbyte is pretty much enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jOHHyJMgWk I'm still thinking about buying the C720 ... There are offers for 200 Euro. It could really be a replacement for my nearly 8 years old EeePC 900. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-170-4527211 1989-2014: The Wall was torn down so that we go to war together again.
