"I can't imagine they made it harder to replace the HDD."
Start imagining. You need a mini-torx screwdriver to get the hdd out, once you get the cover off (8 phillips screws).
Not the end of the world, but not too many people have a T8 sitting around. I didn't.
- masomenos 17y agoI agree that this is a minor annoyance, but your local hardware store probably has one available for $5. In other words, it's still orders of magnitude better than replacing the HD in, say, an iBook.
- chrisbolt 17y agoThe Torx has always been required. At least with the unibody MacBooks they made it far easier to replace the hard drive. I just did a pre-unibody MacBook Pro yesterday, you have to pull the entire top part with keyboard.
