Can Macbook Internal HD be replaced?

[branharrison6]

I went into the new apple store that they just recently oppened up in Madison Wisconsin and asked the "geniouses" there if I could upgrade my internal HD in my C2D Macbook. I ordered from apple with 80gb and am now realizing very fast that the space will soon run dry. The people at the store said they could not do it. I was wondering how I could, and if so where, who, price, and other possible suggestions. Is it a matter of me being able to take out the current HD and slap in the new one myself? If so how easy/safe would that be. I do not want to forego my warranty with Apple either if that would happen. Suggestions would be great, I am very confused on this topic.

Thanks,
Brandon

Apple's made the process of swapping hard drives extremely simple in the 13-inch MacBook--just about as easy as replacing memory. But you will need a few things to get you started.

Will me opening it void the warranty? or Applecare?

No, it's a user replaceable part.
