Does anyone have the new 2.5GHz 15in MPB yet? I'm thinking of moving to one and putting in my SATA3 SSD and 8GB 1600MHz RAM.

I'd like to hear some reviews about heat and such.
 
go ahead and buy

I have picked up mine days ago and it has been running 24/7. I went with the hi res anti glare which is awesome. No problems whatsoever with heat and the fan ran high rpm only once when I was transferring a boat load of files. Even then it never got hot enough to be of concern and in normal operation it has been awesome. Battery life has been excellent as well. Debated about getting the 17" but I think I made the right decision. Very lightweight and easy to tote around. Not sure that I would feel the same about the 17.
