    If all goes well, will be purchasing this laptop this weekend. I have made my final decision on that.

    What should i do straight out of the box to get this working 100%?
    What bloatware should i take out, anything i have to uninstall, like drivers and reinstall?

    What should i know. :)

    Few questions after reading through some more threads:
    What is BIOS?
    What is RAID?

    Appreciate it.

On PCs, the BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions.

    Raid-large number of low cost hard drives could be linked together to form a single large capacity storage device that offered superior performance, storage capacity
    basically see your 2 drives as one
