Taking apart a MBP

[Deleted member 651465]

Following on from reading this guide I may decide to pop in a 200GB 7200RPM storage drive.

I know it's going to void the warranty, but it certainly looks easier than I remembered

Anyway, what you guys think.. would you risk it?

Ok, just been watching a video on Youtube regarding a new HDD.

Looks simple enough to do, and I bet if you took your time (as with any computer) you could do it without any visible marks

If there was a 250GB 7200rpm then I'd do it tomorrow, but as it stands I might hold out until Lepoard and see what's about

I have to agree with Durzel on this.

Personally the HDD on the MacBook is classed as a user-upgradable part, but I wouldn't think that's the case on the MBP hence the thread.

I'm pretty convinced that I will do this, but only when the extra storage space is worth the hassle.

Anyone know what the formatted space on a 200GB hard drive equates to?
