[QUOTE="Sgt Beavis, post: 603390, member: 21840"] This is correct. [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=13946[/url] On the MacBook, the hard drive is considered a "user installable" part. Upgrading the HDD on a MB will not void the warranty. However the HDD on the MacBook Pro is NOT considered user installable. That said, I've read about many people that have taken their MBP back in for service after upgrading their HDD. However they had to reinstall their original HDD. If you want to be perfectly safe, have a tech at the Apple Store do it. I'm not 100% sure about this but I think you can buy your own HDD, have them install it, and the system will still be covered. However the 3rd party HDD will not be covered (it has its own warranty anyways) [/QUOTE]
