Upgrade for Netbooks

This guide covers upgrade for netbooks with practical context and easy-to-follow details. Use it to understand the subject and apply the information confidently.

Netbooks can upgrade RAM, hard drive and improve wireless connection speed. With memory, the upgrade is easy because netbooks have an empty RAM slot. However, the memory upgrade needs to pay attention to the warranty of the manufacturers, most of the companies do not warrant for customers to "add" their computers to upgrade the internal hardware. . There are some exceptions, Asus allows customers to upgrade mag memory without affecting warranty commitments. MSI also requires customers to contact the company before upgrading. After RAM, the second part is chosen to upgrade the most popular hard drive. The first generation netbooks use solid-state drives with capacities of 4-8GB.

With netbooks using SSDs, replacement is difficult but there is another way to increase storage capacity. Nebooks like the Eee PC with SDHC memory card slot can be used to plug another SSD 4 or 8 or 16GB hard drive or you can use a 16GB USB card to store. Some hard drive manufacturers like Buffalo and Super Talent are also about to launch SSD 32 and 64GB hard drives that can plug into the PCIe slot. Most netbooks have integrated G (802. 11g) Wi-Fi connectivity with a maximum speed of 54Mbps. Some recently released netbooks such as Medion Akoya Mini and Eee PC 1000H support standard N wireless (802. 11n) wireless connectivity for theoretical speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

But the standard Wi-Fi netbooks can be upgraded to higher-speed N by plugging a wireless card (like Intel 49565AGN) into a Mini PCIe port.
