Both are user serviceable - MBP can have a max 8GB RAM, I think there are 1TB 2.5" drives which would be the max.

The 2011 will take 16GB RAM.
Apple only officially support up to 8GB though. I don't really need more anyway but your right the hardware does support a max of 16GB.
Well my machines running Lion have just received some software updates, iDVD, Aperture and one other, can't remember...I'm thinking Midnight
But that's purely speculative guess!

That would be nice
So the general consensus so far is that Lion = Vista of the Mac world?
There'll be at least one working driver with Lion's release so it's definitely no Vista.
Was hoping for some information on Lion's release date but it seems that Apple are keeping it quiet
Its coming... soon.
Whilst I'm looking forward to it I'm certainly not losing sleep about its availability or in a rush to upgrade as Snow Leopard serves me very well.
Did anyone else experience problems after the updates last night? I woke up to discover that my Documents and Downloads folders were at 0MB and completely empty. 
My Movies, Music and Pictures folders are unaffected, but the other two are totally hosed. :/ I launched Filezilla to grab from backup and that was as a new install (all preferences etc reset)... Firefox did 'first run' when I launched that, too: Bookmarks, prefs etc all hosed.
Now I remember why I was supposed to buy an external hdd for that Time Machine wotsit when I got my MBP... FTP backups are fine, but hardly convenient for things like Firefox/Filezilla issues... D'oh.
I'm tempted to roll back to SL for now, tbh.
EDIT: n/m, just remembered when I went to reboot last night it hung on the grey screen before shutting down. I ended up doing a hard reset from the power button. I guess something got corrupted. Lesson learnt.

Just SSD'd my MBP so all ready for Lion now
Did mine in May (although used an new intel 80GB drive...) - Can't wait for Lion to give me TRIM!
Lion gives Trim does it? I hear many a person mention it on forums but I am yet to see anything official (even in the 250 features listed) regarding it even on Apples website?

I thought it was already out...
They said July so it can't be any more than 2 weeks now....
