Has anyone ever upgraded a laptop.

I have taken loads of desktop pc's apart, but never a laptop.

What I want to do is change the cmos battery and install some more memory.

What I am not sure about though, is, how easy are they to work on?

I can imagine everything being a bit cramped and awkward to get to without perhaps removing other stuff to get to the bits I want to get to.

I have a toshiba, and it is really easy. Little doors on the bottom for the memory and the battery. The biggest problem is getting the screws out.
If it isn't broke, tweak it.

I guess a screwdriver will help there then. ;)

They must use a left-handed Lithuanian torque wrench. I mean really hard!
