[QUOTE="Hyperluminal, post: 94602"] Recently I've been thinking of getting a 15" Powerbook, to replace my Dell laptop. The thing is, my Dell's 40 GB hard drive died about a month ago, so I decided to go all out, and get a new 100GB Seagate hard drive. In addition to being enormous, it's also very quiet (although I hear the HDs that come with Powerbooks are quiet too), and is also supposed to have especially low power comsumption. Anyway, if I got the PB I'd be selling my Dell, and since this hard drive is very new, I'm not really looking forward to losing it if I did sell my Dell. My question is, since the PB I'd get would have a 60 GB hard drive (and most likely be refurbished, which means I couldn't build it to order with a bigger HD), what would be the chances that I could take it to an Apple Store and have them install my new hard drive in the PB for me? I could do the installation myself, but I imagine that would void the warranty, right? If they could do that for me, about how much would they charge, if anyone knows? If I could have Apple do that, then I imagine I could probably put the PB's 60GB hard drive in my Dell, and sell it that way. Would there be any reason not to do that? [/QUOTE]
