    Yep, just got it today and everything is going very well. I upgraded the HDD and RAM myself. Installed 4GB Patriot DDR3 RAM, and also a Patriot 128GB SSD. The SSD works wonderfully and very fast. As a not I did not update to EFI 1.7 Firmware.

    Yes the 2.26. The RAM was about $90 (CDN) and the SSD was around $400 (CDN).
