Mine arrived and it's not looking 'Excellent'. It's showing a purchase date of January 10, 2025 so coverage is expired and under battery health it says 'Service Recommended'. It seems like it was turned on at some point - there's a sticker on the box that says it was inspected - and then the battery drained and sat discharged for 13 months or so.

Thanks for the update; particularly if it helps set people's expectations about what to expect from this.

What's your battery's Cycle Count? You can watch the short YouTube video below to find that info. Regarding the Walmart "Open Box" policy (which these were sold as), there should be zero signs of any usage, this should be a brand new macbook in an opened box. Warranty, and battery should be brand new.

It's actually pretty much fine - it was obviously handled and unwrapped and the charging cable was bunched up and crammed back in the box. The bottom case was also marked up from the charging cable rubbing against it but I think the marks are removable.

That makes sense. I suspect someone turned the laptop on and did the inspection, but forgot to turn it off, leaving the battery draining and dying out.

Well, it's $346, not $900. And yes, people actually used to buy computers for all that. Isn't that amazing?
you bought it for $346 back then?

What are we talking about? The deal, which is $346 for an MBA? Or my windows box? The windows box was a couple of thousand - dual xeon, 128gb ram, 5 drive bays, not sure about the video cards anymore.
