I'm not exactly sure of the procedure for adding ram to the new MBPs, but my older Core Duo one you just undo two tabs and lift up the keyboard to access the RAM slots. Takes all of a minute or so.
I would definitely avoid buying RAM from Apple if at all possible, they charge you at least double what Crucial would.
Edit: adding RAM to the new ones doesn't look too bad: link
Sooooo the Apple shop shows 4Gb std and an option of 8Gb upgrade.K10D wrote:
Thanks Tim, I'm actually looking at the Mac Book Pro's with i7 cpu. The Apple stores have options of SSHD and extra RAM as well as Hi res screens. I'm looking for user/owner advice if possible.

It's not quite what you were after, but I currently have a Mac Book Pro and tomorrow have an i7 27" iMac arriving. Will report back Thanks Tim, I'm actually looking at the Mac Book Pro's with i7 cpu.

No problem with ripping into it.
Is memory handled better on a Mac than Windows?

Wait for Stefan
Since you're going from a PC to Mac also count the cost off upgrading your software to Mac versions. Some do it for free, others for a small fee or not and others don't even have a Mac version.
I also looked into Mac but the cost of getting the software and that some of the software doesn't have a Mac version put me off from the idea since i would be running Windows anyways.
So spending that much for a glorified windows laptop wasn't worth it, for the same price you can get a must faster laptop for just windows.
I'm quite putt off from the idea off a laptop now though, PC are much cheaper to get a powerful one and to keep it up to date so going to get one next year and a netbook or subnotebook to take with me.
I have several recent PC's back in the UK that were brought back from the Gulf. All sat wrapped up with the HD's removed. No good for travelling. Currently using an Acer Ferrari that is maxed out on Ram and has had two HD upgrades. Running XP etc. The other family machines are running Vista and are not stable?
I like the look of the Mac OS and it is supposed to be bullet proof?
