Easy to install and setup
I found the DIY kit easy to install and setup. For those who haven't worked with computers before the provided instructional videos are clear and concise. Only improvement I could think of would be including a tri-wing screw driver in the tool kit. While you don't need it for the install of the SSD it would be nice to have as many other Mac screws are this pattern.
