[QUOTE="markw10, post: 251390, member: 20013"] I am buying a macbook shortly and definitely want 2 gigs of RAM and likely a 120 gig hard drive. I've heard never to get the RAM from apple because of cost. Is the same true for the hard drive? I'm a 'switcher' from the windows world so I'm new to this. How hard is it to upgrade memory and hard drive? is there simply a slot to load the memory into? Physically I imagine the hard drive is not that hard to replace but how hard it is then to set up with MacOS X? Would I save a lot by doing the hard drive on my own? Most of all, when I look for memory and a hard drive what do I look for brand wise or technology wise? Is it the same as on a PC? Last, in case I do go with a Macbook Pro instead do they use the same memory and hard drives? [/QUOTE]
