Upgrading a MacBook Pro hard drive for what ever reason is actually fairly easy. First, collect all your materials. You'll need; a new 2.5" HDD or SSD drive, ext 2.5" USB enclosure, #00 Philips screwdriver and a T6 screwdriver. Next you'll need to clone your hard drive. After, open up your laptop and then put it all back with the new posts and drive.

How do you choose the right MacBook Pro 15in?

Apple sells only only one version of the Macbook Pro 15". You can upgrade the processor, ram, hard drive, and display if you wish. If you are using this Macbook as a student, I would recommend you get the Macbook Pro 13" base model and save yourself $600. It is all a student will need. However if you are looking for the best laptop you can get for your own use then the 15" is the best of the best. Unless you are doing graphics and or video editing you have no need to upgrade it. Only you know what you need.

The MacBook Pro has more upgradeable items like the hard drive and Ram that you can replace yourself and the MacAir has the Ram and hard drive (flash drive, SSD, etc) soldered directly to the main board so you can't up grade them later. The MacBook Pro is a bit more powerful then the Air but the Air is much slimmer and lighter then the MB Pro.
