[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 395981, member: 24098"] I have also read that there is some sort of tamper-evident seal on Mac portables. Typically these kinds of seals are placed in a very conspicuous way so as to deter the user from opening the case. I did open my MacBook Pro shortly after I got it, just because I'm a geek like that and I wanted to see the placement of the components. As an IT professional, I've opened literally hundreds of laptops, so I am very careful and always focused on the details to make sure that my work is done well. With that said, I noticed no tamper-evident seals anywhere within my MBP. This may be because mine was a refurbished machine to begin with, but I highly doubt it. [B]In my opinion[/B], rumors of such a seal are urban legend. That doesn't mean there isn't one - but if there is - it must be very well hidden. YMMV, of course - but do consider it carefully before you pull the trigger and keep in mind that you would need to remove the overlay if you ever had to send the machine in for service. [/QUOTE]
