Upgrade paths

RAM

256 MB soldered directly to the board · Fixed at manufacture; a deliberate cost and power trade-off for the target price point.

LOCKED

storage

SD card slot for expansion alongside the fixed 1 GB internal NAND · Internal flash is soldered but the SD slot gives children an easy way to add capacity.

EASY

battery

Standard user-removable pack, no tools · Designed for classrooms in the field: the latch releases by hand, no screwdriver needed.

EASY

other

Entire chassis opens with a single captive screwdriver-friendly design, documented in OLPC's public service manual · The whole machine, from the rubberized keyboard membrane to the hinge, was engineered for a child or a teacher with minimal tools to repair in the field, no proprietary fasteners.
