    as long as your laptop is functioning properly, you don't HAVE to do any tests. if you read some of the reviews for laptops, you will see some of the commonly used tests. superpi, 3dmark, hdtune, etc. here is an example:

    welcome to the forums!

    i think the best test is to just start using it. enjoy your laptop!

    See if it powers on. Then see if you like it. Benchmarking only serves to let you hate your computer because you won't the the "score" you want.

    Indeed, if you can't find a problem without being told what to look for then the laptop is fine. I hope you like it!
