Theoretically you won't, because netbooks only sell with 1 GB of RAM, as that's the upper limit for Windows 7 Starter these days. So, if they were to come with 2 GBs of ram or more, they'd also come with WIndows 7 Home Premium that would jump the price but at least 70 bucks. However, some might offer an upgraded version of the 1025C without an OS, at least that's what I'm hoping for. I don’t know what to say Eunice.

Also, expect more and more devices to be encased in the near future, as producers try to make them slimmer.

Can you give definitive answer about the memory slot on 1025ce? I mean word on the street is that memory on this model is soldered directly to mobo, with some ppl saying otherwise, that there is a normal so-dimm slot, only not directly accessible via quickaccess bay. So which way is it? Can one upgrade memory on 1025ce when sacrifice of warranty is made? some rants about 1025ce and asus in general: what a major way for asus to f*** things up, this netbook model had a great chance to be a superseller in europe, i mean talk was for such a long time to have hdmi/usb3 on netbooks. i know amd e450s have it, but they cost 100€ more and have worse battery life. another stupid idea is the color selection for 1025ce, only 3 crappy colors, no black/white or at least darker colours. its like that "we make only glossy netbooks because finger magnets are the best" thing that asus had for years, would it really hurt asus to do all-around-perfect netbook for a change? yes, asus you were very close, but no candy this time either :-) Hi Mark, thanx for nice review.
