    Hey guys,

    I just got my notebook, and I don't know what to do first. Should I charge it up fully before turning it on for maximum battery longevity? Or is it ok to just start using it now?

    Can I register online, or do I need to register with the card they sent me?

    Ideally, you should charge your laptop overnight before turning it on for the first time, though I rarely follow that procedure. Personally, I would just turn my laptop on while having the power adapter connected and start customizing my personal settings. I would suggest you either remove all the unwanted bloatware or do a clean install just so your laptop will run faster and smoother without all the crapware hogging up your system resources. Also, register your laptop as others have mentioned above.
