Not really. This laptop has more use at your local coffee shop than any any practical business use. 2GB memory won't meet my needs. My current laptop has 3.5. I also question the durability of this laptop.

That's a simple 100 dollar fix

The part I'm most excited about is the 64 GB SSD memory. I'd love to see this get cheaper and implemented in more computers.

As much of an innovation and brilliant piece of technology this is, I really wouldn't have much use for it at all. I need more ports and an optical drive.

No one has commented on the fact that the it has a sealed, non-user-replaceable battery.

Feh.

I think it's those four black slots on the motherboard itself. Which means it's built in which explains the inability to upgrade the RAM.

No it's not, you can't upgrade the RAM from the looks of it.

For the ram, it should have a small rectangular piece that can be unscrewed. That's how the powerbooks and macbooks of the past have done it. I don't see why they would not allow the owners to do that now.
