Dell mini 10
Getting one of these soon, and am wondering if anyone knows if you can upgrade the internal wireless from b/g to N? Call to Dell resulted in a shrug.
So does anyone have one fo these, and have you been inside it? Id also like to bump up the memory from 1gb if possible, the Dell rep I talked to really was clueless.

Once I get it, I'll contact Dell and see if I can get the card from them at a decent price. -

Optionshypnotoad Banned Posts: 915I have a mini 9 -- the RAM is accessible and you can go up to 2x 1 gig sticks.
The wireless card is accessible but I haven't played with it much.
And the hard drive is a little SSD on a PCI-express 1x slot that should, in theory, be really fast (but isnt).
