Man, enjoy it. Apple just got it banned in the United States. On rather ridiculous grounds, even.Just got a new phone today. Galaxy Nexus 4g with Android 4.0, so far I'm loving it.
Mind you, Apple's a company that's managed to get a patent it filed last week for the shape of notebooks granted to it.
(now every other company that's been making notebooks in "wedge" or "teardrop" shapes is probably going to get it - a lot of notebooks now have a tapered-to-a-point style)
It's likely because your Acer isn't very light to begin with (looking at that model, it's probably about two kilograms), while the Retinabook is much wider and thinner, resulting in a better spread of the weight across the chassis as a whole, contributing to a superficially perceptive sense of low-weight. It's just the same how the latest smartphones feel lightweight, when some are heavier than ever before.Yes, it does looks like the standard 15 inch at a glance. I was quite surprise when I try to feel the weight difference between these two and the MBP feels lighter than the acer.
Man though, the Retinabook's the first MacBook I thought seems worth its money.

It arrived a day early. Worked well for me, but now I have to rearrange my computer working area, the spot I reserved for the tablet is a bit too small.

Spray lubes are really no substitute. Years ago I used to coat the chain in WD40 and hope for the best which left it sticky and a filth magnet.
This Teflon stuff is much better as it doesn't get sticky. Remember to wipe the chain down after greasing it to get off most of the lube.

Sort of a strange one, but bear with me:
That little tag? It's a pair of pants I've been hunting down for a few years from a designer I've always enjoyed. The girlfriend tipped me off to them showing up on eBay, so I snapped them up. Them being some of the most comfortable casual pants I've ever had the pleasure of wearing is an added bonus.
Also snagged a Dries Van Noten long sleeve button-down for a very good price as a birthday gift for myself.
Oh, and this, since there's a massive amount of good info in it:

Funny you mention that book, because I was doing some amateur graphic design work on here (see my thread). At one point I just couldn't stand it any more so I abruptly stopped, even my work in progress. I had no desire to finish any of it. I guess that's what they mean by "Losing your soul."
