I am running Ubuntu 14 LTS in a chroot so I can hot key between it at Chromium. This is the low cost Linux laptop I've been dreaming about for a long time.tekewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230830520110635922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-18832706940354346222014-07-09T22:27:03.438-05:002014-07-09T22:27:03.438-05:00RAM is sadly connected to the main board.RAM is sadly connected to the main board.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954467314386661328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-5135240414016331032014-07-09T17:24:46.374-05:002014-07-09T17:24:46.374-05:00Any chance of upgrading the ram to 16gig?

You'll only get that if you can dig up a new battery, Thinkpad batteries last about 20 minutes after they've aged about a year or so. Not to mention the need for antivirus and all that junk. <br /><br />Nope. The C720 is a better deal and much less of a hassle all around.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234097869869857454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-26498323648424299912014-02-12T11:03:40.372-06:002014-02-12T11:03:40.372-06:00Unless you absolutely require 8 hours of battery t...Unless you absolutely require 8 hours of battery time, they are still overpriced.
