They are only charging $1100-$1200 for the upgrade. Where are you getting a high-quality aftermarket 512GB SSD for much less than that (forget that you have to install it yourself)?
edit: pricing differs slightly depending on model
- jarek 16y agoIs hard drive replacement in an MBP really difficult enough to warrant any mention when high-end SSDs are in play?
- stanmancan 16y agoNope. I got my 13" Macbook Pro in early January of this year and it took me a total of 10 minutes to replace the stock HDD with an SSD.
- robotresearcher 16y agoIf you ignore the hours of data copying or fresh install.
- dschobel 16y agothat's where lightpeak/thunderbolt steps in.
- stanmancan 16y agoI actually cloned it with Carbon Copy Cloner before switching it in. It was about another 5 minutes of work, and then letting it sit and run in the background for an hour. Not much to worry or complain about.
- rdl 16y agoEspecially if you get a list price discount (negotiated for small business, big employer, association, government, military) the apple upgrade price is below market price, at least for the 512.
