The manufacturers website is the best bet, they do actually have pretty good guides as to how to install more memory, replace the keyboard etc. I think you have to input your laptops model number or customer service number and then that directs you to the correct guide.

I checked on the Dell website and I couldn't find any information on upgrading the memory. Does anyone know if the keyboard section lifts up like that of a IBM Thinkpad.

cheers

Every Dell paptop I've used in the past half dozen years or so have had the memory accessible from underneath by removing a small panel with a small Philips head screwdriver. There should be a few other panels down there too; a large one for the CPU and GPU heatsink, the WiFI card, the hard disk, and the memory. Some of them might have combined panels.

Get a screwdriver and find out.

I know on some of the latest ones (maybe all?) there's one memory slot accessible from underneath, and another under the keyboard.

thanks for the help - I will have a look at it tomorrow.
