[QUOTE="emporiky, post: 1573887, member: 321542"] Ok guys, here's what happened. The guy turned out to be unofficially "reseller" of second hand MacBooks and has good rep about it. His new offer is MBP Late 2012 i5 2.5 ghz, Retina, 8gb, 256 SSD and battery 33 cycles (which is amazing). However there are two things that bother me. First when I enter its serial number in Apple website, it says 'Please validate your product's purchase date. Apple is unable to provide information about your service coverage. Please sign in with your Apple ID and provide your product's date of purchase so that we can display your coverage information'. I am really afraid that this could mean that the MBP could be stolen. Is this possible and how can I check that?\ Second, I ran Geekbench (which showed quite good scores) and then Apple Hardware Test on the MBP, and everything was fine until this showed up - 4sns/1/4 40000001 : ID0R - 0.000. I still can't find exactly what does it mean? I will be grateful if someone can tell me:)[B][U]Edit - found the error - the Mac was not connected to the charger :D[/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
