[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1340213, member: 46727"] You can certainly swap out your old drive for a 500 - 640 GB SSD if you have a nice bank account. :) Have you checked prices for a SSD that large? Also, Acronis True Image will not work with Mac OS X. Not because of the file system specifically but because Macs use EFI not a BIOS. However, there are similar programs for the Mac such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Your new machine has Lion pre-installed. Lion does not come on disk but you have a Recovery partition on your hard drive that can be accessed during boot up that will allow for reinstalling and disk repairs. [/QUOTE]
