ah man.........I fear this might happen......my 15" rMBP can't even handle the latest 10.8.5 Supplemental update without nearly bricking. I might just finish the DL wait and see.
Got a tip for us?

Dunno, not having any problems on my end. Mavericks showing up in my purchases history, now that I hit download. Perhaps people just need to install the second GM first.
i love this high speed college internet, 100mbps lol.. better than my home internet and my mom is paying, can life be any better?
Not as good as my corporate 1gb
I installed over the old OS. However, I did a fresh install of ML about 2 mos ago after my MBP had a random falling asleep problem. Maybe I'll do a fresh install after the fall college semester is over and I have more time.
Wow! Just installed Mavericks on my rMBP and I've gained ~15GB of disk space
Before Finder reported ~191GB free (before I d/l Mav) and now it reports 206GB free.
Normally would expect less disk space after a major OS u/g

My mums plastic MacBook isn't supported! I bet it's because all that compressing and decompressing of the data in RAM takes a lot of resources.
Is anyone else experiencing a longer than normal Shutdown and/or Stat-up/Restart times for their Macs since upgrading to Mavericks? I am also noticing a longer than normal lag with opening applications. I am running Mavericks on a 2012 Mac Mini w/ 16 GB RAM and 2.6 GHz i7 Quad Core. I have to say that the Start-up and Shutdown times while using Mountain Lion were a lot faster.
YES !!!. It's slower booting, shutting down. I notice a slight lag with quickview on larger jpegs also. I have a Late 2011 MBP 2.4ghz core i7, 16gb ram. 7200rpm hd.
Painfully slow download. I'm pretty sure it's been stuck at "3 hours remaining" for the last 2 hours. I mean, it's downloading, but the time remaining hasn't really changed.
Sure, got an extra $400 bucks laying around you don't need ? And it is Mavericks, didn't have this issue with ML.
You can get a 512GB SSD for 400$?
Yea, if you dig around, $400 to $500 I guess. Probably not the best of the bunch though.
It is a bit shocking that they really released it for free.
Confused as to why you'd show a sad face when Apple is offering something for free. What's up with this forum? Even free gets negativity.
Tax reason = FREE
They are doing free, prolly, because this is a business move since they got a slap on the wrist with off shore tax havens? Good for tax purposes for a business to give free stuff. Anyone jump in on this one who can be more technical with terms / experience? Thanks.

I could see that if you have a monthly cap/limit. With all the devices that use the web in my house, a cap is not an option. So will just update the other macs.
