[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 730165, member: 24098"] I'd go one further - do regular backups regardless. Laptop hard drives are notoriously failure-prone, regardless of the make and model. Simply put, they are subjected to forces and conditions that desktop hard drives are not. These days, an external hard drive with way more capacity than even the largest notebook hard drive will run you less than $150. It's well worth the investment, both monetarily and in your time to do a regular backup - or better yet, just use Time Machine whenever you have your laptop at your desk. [/QUOTE]
