At KitGuru we spend a lot of time testing the latest and greatest components on the market for PC enthusiasts across the globe.  But today we have set aside some time for Mac users, namely those who want to make the most out of their machine.  Anyone who has looked into buying a new Macbook recently will know that Apple demand hundreds of pounds to install a solid state drive into your system, making it a less than desirable option.  But if you perform the upgrade yourself, you can save a significant amount of money. Kingston have kindly supplied us with one of their SSDNow V+ 64GB solid state drives for this article which provides a good balance between price and performance.  We would say that 64GB is the minimum size you should consider when upgrading a laptop as anything smaller will likely prove too small in the long run.  Before you start the upgrade, you must make sure you have the required tools as listed below.
