Would upgrading the hard drive in a new 13" Macbook Pro void the warranty?

Asked by benseven (3189points) June 9th, 2009

So Apple have released a gorgeous update to the 13” Aluminium unibody Macbook, upgrading it to a ‘Pro’ and bringing back Firewire (hurray!) and adding an SD card slot, amongst other things.

My question is – these things have a built-in battery. The white Macbooks have user replaceable RAM and HD because these can be easily accessed from the space for the removable battery. Will removing the bottom of the case (which looks straightforward if it’s the same deal as the 17” shown on iFixit) void the warranty? Or can a user like me fit their existing HD as soon as I get it?

Which actually, we be around Christmas due to a certain impending wedding sucking up all the geek funds :(
