    My MBP should be arriving early next week. Can't wait.

    I've read a few accounts about certain build issues (trackpad, screen, keyboard,etc..), with some of the new Aluminum Macbooks.

    Just wanted to know what things to look for and check first after receiving the new MBP, that a first time Apple user might not know.

    Any help would be appreciated. I don't expect anything to be wrong, but I'd rather be sure, and have any possible mistakes be replaced/fixed right away.

    screen (Backligting)
    lid(it iust sit flush)
    speakers(same amplitude on either side)
    keyboard(keys crooked or not, and even backlighting)
    webcam works ok
    battery cpver flush/firm
    not overheating problems
    check if you ports are working
    check you wifi/bluetooth
    use both graphics cards (one a time), to see if they are working as expected
    check if your trackpad responsive
