[QUOTE="peacockharris, post: 1919683, member: 415058"] Sorry to derail this thread with another change of subject, but upon checking what OS came preinstalled, I've come to realise that this Mac sold to me as 'Brand New' might not be. Before purchasing, I contacted the seller to ask if by 'new' they meant it was also SEALED. They confirmed that yes it was sealed. It arrived and indeed looked brand new, but it wasn't sealed at all. I wasn't too concerned though and put the seller's miscommunication down to a language barrier. However, upon setting it up tonight, I've realised 2 more things... 1. It's running Big Sur, when it should have been on Mojave. I've found conflicting info online about whether this is normal. Now i'm thinking it's not. 2. The RAM in both the listing and written on the box is 16GB. But now that I checked 'About this Mac', it's actually 64GB! A nice mistake under any ordinary circumstances, but with these 3 things indicating the unit has been messed with, I have some concerns. Anyone got any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
