The Acer Ones can take additional memory, but only up to 1.5 gig. Installing it is not for faint-of-heart, as it requires disassembly of a considerable part of the machine. I've seen a number of modifications, including installation of a wireless card, a touch screen, an internal Bluetooth adapter and several other things. These, however, are not off-the-shelf additions and require some skill with a soldering iron.
