    I've been lurking here for a month or so, impatiently waiting for my laptop to arrive. And today it finally did!

    So far I'm in love with it's beautiful pinkness. I know the Graphic Splash editions weren't well received, but I love the pink cover :p

    I'm a bit scared at the task of getting rid of the bloatware, I'm afraid I'll break something though I know this is the place to come for help.
    Just wanted to share, I'm so excited, lol =)

    Step #1 make the backup recovery DVD set. That way no matter what you do you can easily get it back to the "out of the box" state.
