I get it on the 3rd, and I can't wait!

Getting new laptops is fun! :)

The first thing you should do is back up all of your antivirus and any other software you paid. Then do a new install of the OS. They put so much crap on those the only way to get rid of it is to reinstall. But remember to get all of the extra software info you purchased first then do the new install. Oh yeah nice looking machine.

I'll always be an Apple man myself.

Computers is my profession, first thing going on this Machine is my Windows 7 64-Bit RC, which will be followed up by the official Windows 7 install once I get my free upgrade (w00t promotions!). I don't care for their free software/trials, it's all crapware to me. If it were cost effective I'd built the laptop myself! :P

I also may put on Mac OSX 10.5 and make my own Hackintosh, considering the specs are nearly identical to one of the Macbook Pros.

You have made me proud. :) (That's actually pretty much the same specs as my MBP...my screen's bigger :rofl:)

I need more experience in the OSX OS. I know far more about Linux than I do OSX...time to remedy that.
