If you are running out of room on your macbook than the video below will take you step by step on the process of upgrading your hard drive. In the video I use a 500GB hard drive for the upgrade. Below are also links where you can get this drive.

WHERE TO BUY:  2.5 SATA 500GB 7200RPM Drive

CompUSA.com $129.99: http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4434267&CatId=2682

The Asus Eeepc 900HD has now taken netbooks to new levels with its 160GB Hard Drive and with a price tag of about $249 it just makes this a great netbook. I have tried the HP Netbook, and the Acer Netbook and the Asus wins above those 2. I would recommend to go to your nearest electronic store and check them out so you can compare.

The 900HD differs from the 900 because it has now a 160GB 2.5 sata drive. The only thing that I can say negative about this netbook is that after a long period of usage it gets pretty warm since the hard drive generates alot of heat. This happens across the board with all netbooks I tried that had a hard drive inside of them.

The netbook is very portable and light weight. Below is a video that will show you all the features of the netbook and also links to where you can get a good deal for the netbook, where you can get more memory, and a bigger battery with 8hrs of usage. The extended battery does stick out some what but it is awesome if you are on the go and need juice to last all day.
