Hard drive is *Not* user replaceable on Pro, but *is* on Macbook?
In researching the Macbook and Macbook Pro, I was surprised to find out that the Macbook's hard drive looks really easy to replace. I'm assuming that's a user replaceable part that won't violate Applecare?
But on the Macbook Pro, it looks insanely hard to replace (I figured it would be the other way around). I saw a guide that has you basically taking apart the entire thing to get at it-I'm comfortable around computers, but I wouldn't want to risk it judging by how difficult it looks. Plus apperently this DOES violate your warrenty?
Just checking, because I think this would steer me to the Macbook (in addition to the price!), even though I would like a decent GPU for gaming, and the larger screen.
This may sound nuts, but the reason I'd like a replaceable drive is mainly so that if I have to send it in for service, I can swap out the drive first. I'm a bit parinoid about sending in a drive loaded with my credit card info, passwords, etc.! So I'd just buy a cheap replacement and pop that in before sending it in for service if I ever needed to.
