    Hello,

    Someone I know wants to buy a macbook air. I've replaced hard drives on Sony's, lenovos, macbooks etc. but I know some Sony's come with special "non-standard" drive sizes. Does anyone know if the Seagate Momentus laptop drive will fit in the newest macbook air?

    I saw on anandtech you could replace it on the previous model but I thought I'd double check as she needs much more space than 120GB that apple offers.

    Thanks

    They use 1.8" HDD and I don't think the Seagate Momentus is such a drive.
    If you go to www.iFixit.com you can get some useful information and ideas.
    Good luck,
    Steve
