[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 42372, member: 4085"] Most Mac Users don't feel they have the need to open their systems for upgrades. Currently the biggest is 80Gb and top range systems already ship with this anyway, those also include a SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-R/DVD-ROM/CD). Memory upgrades are via a trap door. Entry level PowerBooks come with 60Gb and iBooks i think come with 40Gb. To upgrade from Combo drive to SuperDrive, you can do this at any Apple ServiceCentre, they will take your current drive as part-ex. Costs about $300, i think. Even if you brought the drive on the PowerBook, it still doesn't include the super thin interface cable which you must have to interface with the logic board. If you want to access Flash cards, Memory-cards or other solid-state memory sticks on the PowerBooks, you can buy a PC-card version instead of the cumbersome USB dongles. Only works in the 15" and 17" version, all other machines don't have PC-card slot. On the Current range of PowerBooks, you can not upgrade the CPU as it's mounted on the logic-board. [/QUOTE]
