Ah, disappointment. Got my MacBook from Machines
But now Apple is saying there's no warranty left - expired 44 days ago

I'll be calling Apple Support tomorrow in hope to prove the purchase date to them.

Machines is quite the scammer nowadays.

thinking of getting this. anybody tried before?

Scary though new purchase with warranty expired month+ ago....luckily it's been rectified...

could be refurbished or return unit

Sounds like it....damn...sad to get refurbished or return unit..

No it isn’t. Refurbished units don’t come with 1 year warranty + 3 months telephone support. That’s only for the newer units

Yea but new units shouldn't come with -44 days expired warranty too...we were just saying either it's an internal technical error or the unit was refurbished or returned and when it's up for sale again...

Yeah. However, you need to remember that the units Machines sold were old stock (2016 model). Perhaps Apple has a some form of safety/warranty tamper system that does this to older products when registered.

When my laptop arrived it was wrapped exactly like my previous 15” rMBP when I got it new. Even has the foam/paper piece between the screen/keyboard and the signature new MacBook smell. Also, my battery charge count was 0 when I got it.

Besides, there’s no harm in getting a return/refurb unit. I got one for RM 4000 only, and that’s for the 512 GB m5 model! 40% savings right there! Better deal than some windows ultraportables

If anything does go wrong, I have the same warranty to fix it. I can even get AppleCare to extend the warranty even further if the laptop does prove to be problematic
Win-Win
My opinion anyway.

Wow 4000 for 512gb..what a steal....no wonder then haha... good good as long as u r happy with your purchase

Seems not bad... I got the 2017 model cause I prefer the newer butterfly v2 keyboard... got a core i5 and 512.... kinda painfull get Applecare cause the Keyboard will have problem and it cost RM1600 to replace

yeah been reading about the keyboard issues too. will observe how it behaves for this year and get AppleCare later. thanks for the suggestion
