[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1087049"] This would depend upon the laptop, brand, where the parts are imported from , what all software is pre installed, ect. There are variables, and nothing is guaranteed, so if you have concerns, you need to scan the system and check it. As an example, not to many years ago Lenovo was seen shipping with pre installed Superfish “adware,” which could lead to other issues easily. If you have to ask and question it, just use the advice up above. Some users get brand new laptops, wipe them clean and manually install the OS and drivers themselves to rid the new system of any potential issues, preinstalled bloat ware and to slim down and speed up the system. I have nothing more to add to this thread personally, all practical advice has been given already. [/QUOTE]
