Re: hp testing
I'm sure they test the hardware with some software. It may not be exactly the software that you receive but they do test them in some way.

Re: hp testing
Sometimes they ARE damaged in shipping...I had a Dell Desktop that arrive with a COMPLETELY SHATTERED case several years ago. I'm sure someone should have caught that.
