John Rougeux Gone Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5028	I just noticed that if you were to get a SSD drive in your mac, you may pay more depending on what you get. For example: 17" MacBook Pro Click for full size 13" MBP Click for full size iMac Click for full size Why would it cost more to add it to the laptops..and then even more to the 13"? All drives are the same so there isn't a space issue. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

scottyb Where's the cache? Registered: 01/16/08 Posts: 232 Loc: Alaska	I believe the upgrade prices are predicated on the difference from the "base" HDD, i.e. the smaller the base drive, the more expensive the equivalent upgrade will be. _________________________ If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention...

Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 9654 Loc: Columbus OH	Originally Posted By: John Rougeux ah, now that does make sense. What a bunch of fan boys. ;-) That's kind of bull if that's the reason, same price for the drive, same drive. I can't see it costing an extra $150 in time spent on a MBP BTO. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Now my site needs a banner
