Update everything. Don't fear the MacRumors Dilemma! *
I'm jealous of you new MBP owners.
*MR Dilemma: By reading MacRumors you are subjected to reading about the worst case scenarios of things that have gone horribly wrong for a small number of Mac users.
Congrats Amber, I know you'll love your new machine!
I got mine last Friday and I had a ton of updates to run as well. I ran them all and my system is still running great, no problems from any of the updates.
So you *should* be fine. I give that disclaimer because of the .01% chance that something may happen, but im 99.9% confident that you'll be fine.
Congrats Amber. I've been having the same fears over the updates and the screens issues. Also the kernel panics. And my MBP doesn't ship until next week. I'm glad yours is doing so well.
I installed all of the updates on my new MBP that I received today. No problems whatsoever. I was told to just make sure that I had no other applications running when I installed them...
