Hi all, I've found myself a bit concerned with a birthday present I received recently. My grandfather, knows that: I like computers, I recently started school, and swapmeets are the place to find the cheapest crap. So when my grandfather saw an unopened notebook for sale (600 US) at a swap meet, he couldn't resist and bought it for me.
I looked up the computer and it retails for, nearest i can tell, $1100. My guess is it's stolen. I was wondering, are the feds on my trail as we speak? To be honest, I don't know where my grandfather got it. For all I know, he may have paid $1500 but doesn't want me to flip out on him for spending so much on me. I'm confused and don't want to lose the notebook, it had the security seal on it and everything I think if anything, it "fell of a truck".
It told me to activate windows, so I entered in the product key and activated it online, from a neighbors wireless connection. If i were to connect it to my network, am I going to have the fuzz banging down my door? Are they going to find this laptop through constant use? etc...
