Upgrading the HP Mini-Note

Give the Mini-Note some extra grunt -- and take a peek at what makes this ultraportable tick!

The HP Mini-Note PC is one of the best ultraportable laptops on the market for under $1000. The best part is that its RAM and hard drive are easily upgradeable. This means you can give it a little more memory to make Vista run smoother, and also replace the hard drive with a more efficient and silent solid-state device.
As you can see from the slide, there aren’t any access panels. The RAM and hard drive are located underneath the keyboard, so this must be removed. Three screws in the battery compartment hold the keyboard in place, so remove the battery, and then remove the screws using a small Phillips-head screwdriver. We’ve highlighted the screws in green.
