Just did a bit of reading on Kevin's 3rd party DIY upgrade idea. I always thought there's something special to apple memory but turns out they use normal memory mostly samsung and hynix not even kingston and I'm a huge fan of kingston ram. As for the hard drives looks like they mostly use seagate which is fine with me I only use seagate drives they are the most relyable in my experience. I don't know how apple can say a MBP with max ram and 7200 RPM hard drive can cause heat problems because you can order it from them that way so obviously they did some testing and why give people that option if it causes problems. Oh and on the MBP I've seen posts in a few places that new MBP's will be released in the next week or two, only upgrades is the processors they will have sandybridge I5 processors can't remember if there's I7's as well. Think you'll get a 2.2 GHz a 2.6 GHz and a 2.8 but I could be wrong can't exactly remember, also know they said it will stay the same price as the current ones.
