Hi All,

I've done some Googling on this subject and come up short. Long story short, I own a 13"
mid-2010 MacBook Pro. I came across a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro unibody and screen. As a result, I'd like to benefit from the bigger real estate on the 15" screen and 'hack' the 13" to fit into the 15" unibody.

Is this possible? Has anyone ever done this? Advantages? Drawbacks?

The two MacBooks (13" uses core 2 duo, 15" uses i5 or i7) use different hardware and connectors so I don't think it's possible.

Also, the 15" 2010 has a known issue with one of the capacitors that handles switching from Intel graphics to nVidia graphics.
