How to check a laptop ??

I'm getting my Dell next week,can anyone suggest any tips on checking the laptop ( bios ,box..etc) ?

 

Hey! Grat's on the impending arrival of your new lappy!

Here is a nice guide I found that might help you!

Guide to New Laptop Inspection...and Beyond!

When I received my 1530: *may not have been in exact order*

• I carefully checked it over externally for any *cosmetic* defects, damages, etc.
• I made sure all the external components were with my lappy that were ordered
• I powered it on, attached the battery...made sure the brick/adapter were both were fine, etc..made sure the screen was in perfect working order..
• Went to device manager to check my internal components that they matched up.
• I did a Clean install & Vista Tweaking; Updated Drivers as necessary
• Installed things like CCleaner; RevoU; Avira AV; SAS; etc..

I pulled the 1555 Drivers Linky separate, as I figured you would probably need that!

Thanks man ,im checking those threads out

 

Great! I'm hopeful, you will find some of them useful! I was able to find them very helpful (and, still am)!

I attached the Win 7 subforum, and Dell Win7 Upgrade link, as I didn't know if you were planning on upgrading to Win7!

Let me know if you need anything else!
