M macgrl macrumors 65816 Original poster Jul 17, 2008 1,192 5 Oct 14, 2008 #1 I am wondering whether to shell out the extra money for the ssd on the mbp. Is it worth it. Thanks

H hellfire88 macrumors 6502 Apr 28, 2008 386 10 Oct 14, 2008 #4 Agree with above posters. The new MBP has the hard drive bay under one cover next to the battery, so very easy for you to change it out. I think 128GB SSDs go for as low as $500 now, if not less, so Apple charging ~$4k is kinda crazy.

quidire macrumors 6502 Aug 11, 2004 349 0 Washington DC (in Kalorama Triangle) Oct 14, 2008 #9 er the SSD upgrade is $450; that's a really good price... Where are you getting $4K from?
