Well it arrived today
On first impression, its the same old 13" MBP i have had for the last 3 years, but then under the hood there is a noticeable difference. I can see the jump in performance anyways, and thats in opening the CPU intensive Apps.
Going to do the Migration later today and once all over ill post a bit more on my thoughts.

GeekBench just chucked out a score of 7816, compared to my 2010 13" of just 3367 so yea impressed to say the least.
The keyboard seems to be different and typing is a different experience. So yea in the first instant, im happy. Have MW3 waiting in the box atm so im going to veg out for a bit and hit it all later . . . . .

Ill officially post GeekBench/NovaBench scores once im all done and dusted

And you shall receive

Not good light but Camera+ with the enhancement tools helped out. Hooked up to my 47"

Having trouble with Mirroring atm, through to my ATV2 running the latest. I used Migration Assistant and its like having my old machine back, but she is a lot Zippier indeed.
I have 4 notebooks in front of me atm. My new 13" MBP, the girls MBA, my old 13"MBP and i got a good deal on Ebay and arrived today for a 13" Aluminum MB and just ordered 8GB for $59. Will max it out as its going to Jazz my son and he likes his Minecraft and other such 9yr old boy games haha.

Now i need to sell my 2010 13" MBP and recupreate some $ that will pay for the iP5 when that gets here in 2-3 weeks......

Xmas has certainly come early for me and those around lol

Will clean up, and place one on Ebay, set Jazz MB up, and then ill get into some serious playing around with my toy, and try and work out this mirroring crap. I used AirParrot in the shot you see ;P
