    My serial number stickers underneath the computer is completely worn out from my carrying the laptop and road warrior. Should I be concern?

    Thanks

    Not really as your Serial Tag is also recorded on the System BIOS, as long you have then it should be fine.

    it could be a problem if the bios menu has a different model/serial no. to the stickers, which could happen if you have the motherboard swapped out, and the depot forgot to update the serial/model no. on your bios. (This just happened to my X61 coming back from repair).
