That's awesome. Busted out laughing when I saw that picture. Thanks
Mine arrived. It's even more amazing in person. Whoever posted that it looked/felt cheap has no clue. Very, very solid, sleek, and thin. You have to hold it to fully appreciate how cool it is.
The SSD is incredible. Launching apps is mostly instantaneous.

How much space did you regain doing the clean install? I'm thinking of doing one but am trying several things on my own to see how much I can regain without a clean install. Running monolingual and keeping about 6 languages gave me 2GB.
Is it working yet? Hope so!!!
I got it working. Saved about 6gb with clean install
you took out languages and printer drivers? what about garage band. i hear that's like 5 gigs
I just performed a clean install, removed all but the HP printer drivers, and removed all add'l language support, and a couple other minor things = 42.27GB free (about 6GB more than I had before).
Garageband couldn't be unchecked during the install phase, but it was only about 200MB if I remember correctly.
No, I missed it. Was in a hurry. Can you remove it now with like appzapper or something?
