Don’t spend $ on a technician – Upgrade your MacBook yourself!

Do you feel tech savvy but hesitate to install new hardware yourself? Especially with your precious Mac system that has the feel of an uncustomizeable monolith? Forget about that. If you ever managed to assemble anything that required a screwdriver without having to call 911 afterwards, you are qualified to upgrade your MacBook with an SSD.
