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.

Obviousley they don't. I just got a 9000t (that I waited almost 4 weeks for) to replace a 9000z that I'm having problems with and LCD backlight was broken.
That was my fourth broken HP in the past 8 weeks. Now I'm going with a different brand.

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.
