Hi Petter2013:

Try downloading and installing OmniDiskSweeper:  OmniDiskSweeper

OmniDiskSweeper will sort your files by size and show you where they are located. This should allow you to determine exactly what you have on your MBP.

You may also be able to move some of these larger files such as videos, etc. to an external drive to free up space on your startup drive.

DO NOT delete any files unless you know exactly what they are.

See the following video on OmniDiskSweeper. Using OmniDiskSweeper

Since your computer is brand new Spotlight indexing might not be complete, leading to erroneous data reporting. Also Spotlight has known issues that can result in its database becoming corrupt which also leads to erroneous reporting. Give it a day or two in case Spotlight is still at work. If the report is still way off, check out the article I've linked to which will show you how to rebuild the database. Click here to see the article.
