[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 647675, member: 24098"] The hard drive is indeed user-upgradeable on the standard MacBook. Not so with the MacBook Pro, where it is mounted within the case and can only be accessed by completely disassembling the palmrest/keyboard/bezel area. As far as the warranty goes, there are no intrusion detection measures on the MacBook Pro. So, providing that you do no damage during the upgrade process, your warranty will remain intact, although I would recommend installing the old drive should you ever need to take the machine in for service.
