New MacBook Pro Experience

OK, this is my third MacBook. The last one I bought was January 2011. That one is still in good shape. I have upgraded the memory from 4GB to 8GB. Still, I have installed a lot of software on that Mac including Paralles, and other open source softwares, ActiveMQ, ServiceMix, Tomcat, MySQL, etc. All those applications put stress on the Mac. So I decided to buy a new one with 16GB memory and 2.7GHZ CPU. BestBuy has a promotion saving 150$, a good deal. But still, it cost almost 2,900$. Not small amount, but I think it worths it. Here are few photos I took when I open the box. It is really beautifully designed. At the moment, I am trying to migrate my music to the new computer, but the Migration Assistent seems taking very long time to recognized my previous MacBook Pro.
