Personally I do not need this, and I imagine most people don't. But I wonder what Apple's return policy on this machine was, and what happened?
Did someone buy this and then not find it good enough?
Did someone want to test it and then get their money back?
Was something broken?
This is an expensive machine, comparable in price to a nice, new car. I'd want a history report if I were buying this.

- daveevad 6y ago> You have 14 calendar days to return an item from the date you received it. https://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund https://www.apple.com/shop/help/returns_refund That might be just enough time to render your student film.
- auggierose 6y agoIt's customised, so you cannot just give it back. Something must have broken.
- ericzawo 6y agoVery likely from a studio with a business account that's made more than a few orders.
- xuki 6y agoNot a lot of people are going to order this machine and return for giggles, so I guess the standard return policy applies, 14 days very few questions asked.

- forgotmypw17 6y agoFirst scenario that comes to mind, because someone mentioned the probably replaced SSD, is that there was an issue suspected with the machine when it was new, and Apple replaced it with a new one right away and did diagnostics after.
