if already purchased macbook pro online... if i wanted to change HDD or ram can i do it myself with out voiding the warranty? or need to look for machines / epicentre etc.. how much is the charges?

it doesnt void the warranty, just that the macbook pro warranty wont cover the upgraded RAM and HDD any longer its the same as installing K&N air filter in your myvi, perodua wont give you warranty on that of course.

you ask the technicians, of course they will quote you an apple branded OEM 128GB SSD Harddisk which is expensive, get the SSD from owc.com la, cheaper and DIY.

if you havent notice, apple service parts are quite expensive because this things will be covered by original hardware warranty, even your specs in Apple's database will be updated, that is why people DIY this is nothing new ask around.

if ur windows gets virus, it'll just affect ur windows, not ur mac.

however, rmember that u might transfer an infected file into mac. it still wont affect ur mac, but if (in OSX) u share the infected file with someone else, they can get infected

1st of all, u are really outdated tongue.gif ppl were complaining about this regarding the late 2008 macbook pro, the 1st gen unibody ones. the thing is, im using that exact model and i dont experience this issue. even when i was using the speck casing (thus heavier weight), my mbp lid never closed down by itself. even after >1.5 years of usage

cRazYee is right, the smoothness of the hinge lets us open the lid with one hand only. did u notice on most laptops u need two hands to pry it open? one hand to lift the lid, another to hold down the body. however, due to the complaints, apple has ALREADY 'FIX' this. if u compare the late 2008 models with the newer ones, the newer ones are slightly harder to open. it's still possible to open with one hand, but not as smooth anymore. apple shouldn't have listened to those complaints +_+

heck, i get 90% of those signing at the petition doesnt even own, or plan to own, a MBP
