[QUOTE="GK27V6, post: 878578, member: 61812"] So, this past week I've been looking into upgrading the RAM to 2GB, and thought I'd look online. The only problem with that is I live in canada. So if I wanted some decent RAM, then that would be quite costly as ordering from the states adds brokerage fee, and have only found one site that had what I was looking for. But after taxes, and shipping, it would come to $60 and wouldn't arrive 'til august 4th. So I decides to visit the local apple reseller in my neighboring city. While I was there, I also asked how much it would cost to replace my top case (keyboard + trackpad) as many months ago I dropped my MacBook which damaged that part. Not the biggest damage so I could live with it for the past ten months. So when I got there, the guy said it was at least $250 to replace. I would not have replaced it at that price. Then, suddenly we both noticed there was a crack on my case! You know what that means- free replacement! I'm pretty sure that crack wasn't there until yesterday. I particulary remember closing it a bit harder yesterday. Oh, and the RAM is $50, which is fine for me considering the downsides of online buying. The only downside to all this is I won't see my MacBook for 3-4 days :/ but luckily I got my iPhone and other crappy PCs lying around to make up for that. I typed up all of this on my iPhone [/QUOTE]
