Upgrade paths

32 MB total via a single proprietary expansion module · 16 MB is soldered to the board; the remaining capacity comes from a small proprietary add-on module rather than a standard SO-DIMM slot.

battery

Removable Li-ion pack · Snaps out from the rear of the case without tools, though original-spec replacements are scarce today.
