Re/ C720: There are detailed information and patches how to install
HEAD on a C720;

I found a video in Youtube about updating the SSD to 128 GByte and
checked the price of such SSD (around 100 Euro). The video as well shows
the RAM soldered as 4 chips. But, I think for the purpose (netbook) 
2 Gbyte is pretty much enough:

I'm still thinking about buying the C720 ... There are offers for 200 Euro.
It could really be a replacement for my nearly 8 years old EeePC 900.
