i just ordered a new MBP 13" and i wanted the SSD but since i was doing an exchange (i got my very first macbook a week ago) the rep said it was easier and faster to do the standard config. the computer i've been using for a week now has the 128 GB SSD and i love it!! is this something i can put in myself when the new one comes or should i call and add it to the order and just suck it up and wait? i'm ok with actually putting the drive in (i think) it looked easy enough on ifixit, but i'm worried about installing the OS an everything on the new drive to make it run like the one that comes from apple. can i feasibly do this myself without screwing things up or should just pay apple the $315 for the upgrade and let them send me a MBP with the 126 GB SSD?
i don't want the HDD and don't necessarily need the space cause i store everything on my time capsule and connect to that wirelessly, so i don't need a huge hard drive on my laptop.
thanks for your help and advice!!
