New MBP - tests to ensure it operates properly?

[Tomr182]

So, just got my new rmbp and wondered whether anybody knows about any tests etc to check that it all works properly?

As in the ssd speed, the processor etc

The main reason I ask, is that I've seen the rainbow a few times already and I'm thinking that I shouldn't based on the machine being more than twice as powerful as my white book based on geek bench

Any ideas of tests/benchmarks are appreciated
Cheers

Not sure of the tests. But the spotlight indexing that runs when you first get the computer has caused many a folk to be worried about their machine. The only test I know for sure would be the image retention ones. You can search these forums for it.

Enjoy!!

People use Black Magic for testing SSD speeds.

There is a built in Apple Hardware Test you could run.

And is there a guide for what the results should be? Just thinking if something is slow, I won't know as I don't know any better lol

If the AHT finds anything wrong it will show an error along with a error code. Normally you can just Google that error code and figure out what it going on. A new machine should not show any errors though.
