I know that the new MBP will have a permanent/semi-permanent battery with it, however will I be able to access the Hard Drive and Ram slots?

I have had a few Hard drives fail in my last few Mac laptops and like the fact that I can replace them myself with DIY Warranty Service.

Thanks in advance.

It will most likely be user replaceable similarly to the unibody 17" MacBook Pro. MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) How to install a replacement hard drive.

I had been wondering the same thing and I just looked Apple's website and found the user manuals for the new MacBook Pro's. The one for the 13" can be found here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/...ch_Mid2009.pdf
And according to that, yea, it is user replaceable.

Sweet. That settles it. I'll get the 13" MacBook Pro with the smallest drive available. It's sufficient for me now, but I can always upgrade later if necessary.
