When you purchase your laptop, you are most often overcome by excitement when it comes to using it failing to take some simple checks before you begin using it. Though you may have checked it at the store and the staff would surely have done so to make sure they are not at fault to any problems. Things to check are the protective films on the casing and the display which would ensure you have a fresh unit. The battery should also be checked and conditioned according to the manufacturers instructions. The hinges of the display should be smooth without hampered movement.
The power adapter should also be checked for kinks in the cable to ensure that you don’t get shorts. Register your laptop with the manufacturer’s site as soon as you get online so you get protected from manufacturing defects. You would also benefit from software and firmware upgrades as well as special offers should you decide to purchase a new unit. On the user’s manual, there’s usually a space where you can write the serial number and model number (note down the serial number of the battery and model) for your reference.
