[QUOTE="technologist, post: 37782, member: 4134"] Yeah, when you get a chance, condition the battery as Strider describes. As for flaws, just look at it. make sure the screen is uniformally bright, not too many "dead" pixels, the display hinges work smoothly, the latch opens and closes, etc. Apple also includes a Hardware Test CD in the box, which runs a suite of automated tests. If you're really concerned, you might want to run that while you're there, just to be safe. (The store staff can probably help you with this.) While you're in the store, take advantage of the AirPort network to download any software or security updates that may not be included from the factory. To do this, select the "Software Update" command from the Apple menu. Again, the store staff can probably help you if you ask. Afterwards, download and run [URL=http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html]MacJanitor[/URL] as whiteshark describes. [/QUOTE]
