I just bought a new PB 15 AL yesterday. I also purchased Hitachi 60GB 7200RPM hdd. I noted that the manual does not cover installation guide on how to perform hdd upgrade for the AL version unlike the Ti. I googled for any guide that pertains to the HDD installation guide for the AL version but to no success. I always found the Ti version guides. Although i found the Al's take-apart guide from the following website: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/P....html#storytop

, it did not outline the steps to specifically upgrade the hard drive.



I am wondering if anyone has upgraded the storage device yourself. I went to apple store today and they said they would not do the upgrade for me, called CompUSA and they told me it costs 140 bucks to do that for me which i think is prohibitively expensive. For an extra 50 bucks i can get myself another of the same HDD.



Any suggestions?



sincerely,

yoha
