Pinball Wizard, you probably know this but for those who don't: Some laptops come with empty memory slots and some don't. For those that don't, you may be able to increase the memory but it would require removing what is already there and replacing it.

Sometimes it is less expensive to remove and replace the existing memory than to buy the computer with the memory already upgraded (often true of Apple because their memory is pricey). Sometimes it makes sense to buy the computer configured the way you want it. Just something to be aware of when shopping. Also, I wouldn't necessarily trust a sales person at Best Buy to know about this stuff for each model they sell. I would research it online before purchasing.
