[QUOTE="JenBell, post: 620798, member: 42737"] Hello People, So I am expecting a new MBP 17" hi-res matte 200Gb 7.2k end of this week and been reading about all the defects these ones have. Does anyone know of a methodical way to test out all the defects to see if I have them or not? I dont want to start configuring the laptop only to find out I have return it before I have actually even started using it properly. I know things can go wrong later on but I think that if I check for most of the issues and see no problems then I cant complain later on. I also bought the applecare thing for it. My baby sis has my old MBP 17" SR and it is like totally perfect so far....got it last Dec ('07) and its been a gem. No problems so far and she uses it like all the time. (In case ur wondering...got to install the CS3 collection, VMware and the xp/vista/linux VMs, then got some utils to run through, TMchne backup started, superduper backup, Office08 install and all the small things I need to make the laptop actually useable...oh and all the tweaking to make it work the way I expect it too....take ages to do all this....and dont want to waste a weekend) Thank you very much people, .JenBell.O:) [/QUOTE]
