September 29, 2011
Have a MacBook purchased between Oct 2009 and April 2011?

You will, of course, need to provide your serial number. You can make arrangements with your local Apple Store Genius or your authorized Apple Repair Center.
You can also have the part shipped directly to you, if you are comfortable doing the install yourself. Alternatively you can order the part and have Geek Easy do the install for you!

Chances are good that, even if your Mac is quickly growing in age, it could see a significant speed boost from a Mac tune-up. Read the rest of this entry »
