Ok, so I know on my old mid 2007 Macbook (non unibody) you could change ram and I think hard drive and not void the warranty or apple care.

Are you still able to change the hard drive (or ram) on a unibody Macbook Pro and not void the applecare? Or since it probably isn't near as simple does it void warranty?

Pondering buying a macbook that is new but some one already installed a new and better hard drive (non apple supplied one as it has a faster speed). But not sure if that already also voided the normal Apple warranty and pretty much made it impossilbe to get applecare for it.

you can still change the RAM and the HDD on the new MBP's without voiding warranty or apple care.
