Pictures from the FCC website show an Eee with an much larger baseplate hatchway. That’s a good sign, since it surely indicates the drive will be easily upgradeable – a key advantage the Eee line generally has over rival Small, Cheap Computers.

There are no details available yet other than the photo above showing that the baseplate is much larger than the other models.

Do you think there are too many versions of the Eee PC yet?
