Not "officially." There are generally no user-serviceable parts in the laptop line. Depending on the model you've been able to install new RAM or an AirPort wireless card, but that's about it. Anyone that upgrades their hard drive is voiding their warranty, although lots of people do it. The only difference here is that this company is already licensed by Apple to make other 3rd party products, so Apple could threaten them with canceling their license unless they stop production on this SSD unit. But there are lots of other companies with no such relationship with Apple that sell upgrade kits.
