have any of you guys had an apple authorized service provider replace a hard drive on a macbook pro (that wasn't warranty work)? if so how much did they charge you?
i'm wondering how much it would cost if i were to upgrade my hard drive later on without voiding the warranty.
yes, i could do it myself, but i don't want to take the risk.
Do they ship on weekends? I really should just calm down and stop checking this forum and my order status every fifteen minutes. Oy!

Shipping will not -start- on the weekends. If your order was shipped before the weekend, it will still move around during that time. Thats how I understand it at least.
So, who here ordered the 7200rpm drive for the 15" MBP and is waiting it out?

According to the Apple Executive Relations guy I've talked to before, it's $80/hour.
So probably $80 to change your hard drive.
Hmmm....
I called apple, and they said that the info on my email for my 17" hi res with the 7200rpm drive, which was the following, is the most accurate info:
Ships by:
Jul 18
Delivers by:
Jul 24
I asked why the store now says 2-4d shipping with the same config and the support person said the store info was not accurate.
So, I guess we'll see if anyone actually gets their mac with this config!
Well, when I called on Friday they told me that they were in stock (the rep on the phone even called a "colleague" to confirm what we were both seeing on the store site was true). He told me that the charge to my bank was evidence that it was ready to ship. So, he said give it 48-72 hours (not sure if he was counting the weekend in that, if so it's been nearly 72 hours). He said if I didn't get the email from Apple about it shipping to call back. So, I may be on the phone again here in a few.
Good luck with yours!
Yeah I've gotten the "pre-auth" on my credit card. Did you get an actual charge on your card or was it a "pending" one?
I wannnnntsssss it my presssscccious!!!! (spoken ala Gollum)
I just ordered the 17" High-Res Matte with 4GB RAM and the 160GB 7,200RPM hard drive today and it says that it is shipping between June 13th and June 15th...the online store appears to be right with the "2-4 business days"...
If you tell me that yours ships before mine, I'll tell you I hate you.Why is Apple doing this to me?!
Call 'em up! I would tell them that the timeline being quoted on the website is verified according to other people who have ordered. It's ridiculous to think that you could cancel and replace your order today and get it quicker. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with Apple Customer Service so far...you can tell right away on the phone if it's someone competent or not.
They'll hook you up!
Is there any news on the status of the 7200rpm drives for the 15" ones??
I know it's only been a week, but the wait is painful. The 17" people had a nice surprise, I was hoping for the same sort of surprise!![]()
