Just got my 13" MBP. Is there anything that I should do before proceeding?

Like:

Fully charge/discharge the battery?
Check for updates?
Install specific apps?

 

[blueroom]

Updates, yup. Else just use it normally.

 

[snaky69]

Turn it on, setup user account, run software update.

The batteries now come pre-calibrated straight out of the box, just use it and don't overthink it.

Open it turn it on and have fun

1. Install all updates to the OS.
2. Install all major software and browser add ons (office/iwork, ilife, firefox, flash, shockwave, java, downloadthemall, flash block, adblock plus etc.)

If it's Lion make sure to setup iCloud and Find My Mac.

Thanks. One more question: I picked up 8GB of Crucial RAM when I got this. Should I install it before or after initial start-up?

Doesn't matter. At all.

Pack it up
Ship it to me for a 36 month burn-in
After burn-in complete I will ship it back to you.



Ok, now for the serious answer!

Just turn it on and follow the prompts for setup.

Then update software.

Then enjoy!
