If you are the owner of a Macbook or if you have recently misplaced your Macbook, you may find yourself wondering where your Macbook is and where it came from originally. Thanks in advance for your help!Īpologies for such a long list of noob questions, i've always bought my iPhones and iPads brand new, but first time buying a used Mac.Apple Macbooks have become some of the most popular laptops sold all around the world today. * Run SSD speed test to see if i'm getting the real dealĪnd last, but most important, the seller i bought from is quite reputable, but still, how do i check if this macbook wasnt stolen? and i dont end up with a laptop that will have serial number blacklisted or even locked remotely in the same way as an iPhone?Īpologies for such a long list of noob questions, i've always bought my iPhones and iPads brand new, but first time buying a used Mac. * Check the display for dead pixels with this app (any other app suggestions?) * check battery health (Coconut battery?) * Run Apple diagnostics (restart and hold D) * Ring up Apple and check the warranty status and possibility to add Apple care * Make sure serial number on the back lid matches serial number in About this Mac I've spent several hours yesterday searching this forum, found heaps of useful stuff but couldn't find a thread that would be like an all-in-one guide to checking a second hand macbook. The seller only allows 2 business days for returns, so I have to make sure i do all the checks promptly so as not to be remorseful later on for my frugal habits (i've planned to purchase a base refurbished model initially).
Long story short, bought a used fully upgraded MBA 2014 which should be delivered early next week.
