[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1276584, member: 24098"] Once you open that panel (and it is fairly simple to remove, just make sure you pry at it with something soft, like a credit card so that you don't gouge the aluminum), you'll have complete, unfettered access to the guts - including the hard drive. The hardest part is getting the right bit for your precision screw driver. You'll need a "00" bit. If it's too big or too small, it will easily strip the screws. If you've ever worked on a laptop before, you'll find it surprisingly easy to get at everything and do what you need to do. They really made it easy with the Unibody MacBook Pro (older models were a bit more of a chore to get at). More info (completely repair guides) are available on [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] Also note that either upgrade does not affect your warranty at all. Both HDDs and RAM are considered "user serviceable" in this model. [/QUOTE]
