Second reason was the one i expected to see. Sure first does happen over time.
But lets say you buy a new laptop as the thread states then you would only expect the second.
A quick bios check after power shut off will always tell this. But good thread man.
One final thing.
If you buy a new laptop you should not need to check to make sure the fan is working. Should be all but silent if new.
Should not even need to care about keeping it clean. Although i do agree with this.
New means new. It should perform out of the box perfectly or i would send it back.
I do agree it should be tested as heavily as possible.
Hell take a usb stick with you and have 5 x 20 meg vid files on it. And load them all at once with windows and see if it can handle running properly.
Dunno man. But i am big on taking sticks with me if i am to try test a PC.
Easier than trying to download crap to test. Or even worse use the tests the shops will offer you lol.
