    As far as I know, they do.
    But I can't find anything on the website. Best thing would be to give them a ring and ask.
    They sell the smartbay HDD cases so why wouldn't they sell a HDD with 'm :p

    yeah in fact it may be cheaper to go that route. Seems like I saved some money doing so for my battery

    Yep! Like Otaku said, it's even cheaper to buy it that way. They list the smartbay battery on their website for $130 when you buy it with your computer, but if you purchase it after you've already received your laptop, it's around $78ish. Mine was $78 with shipping/tax.
