Easy

My Problem

Battery would only last about an hour, and overall running deathly slow. Was skeptical about investing anything because I had upgraded RAM before, with no noticeable difference.

My Fix

The parts arrived quickly, even being shipped to Canada. The repair was dead easy.

The computer is running considerably faster, I expect to be able to get at least another couple of years out of it. I'm guessing the hybrid drive has a lot to do with this.

My Advice

If you are getting the hard drive 'kit' you probably don't really need the other tools, except maybe the spudger.

I was a bit concerned about how difficult this might be, I haven't dug into the guts of a laptop in over 10 years, and never an Apple product, no problems whatsoever.
