Several issues with the order -1) Totally defective machine;2a) The first time i opened it, signed in and tried to update from the app store, i got this message -"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."2b) The piece was having the crackling audio defect, something a sizeable chunk of 2018 Touchbar MBPs are suffering from, which i later realised :/2c) Now my new machine is with Apple, and i am left with nothing until Apple gets the parts to replace (which would be the combined mobo, trackpad, speakers unit), which i have been informed, could be anywhere until early 2019!!!!BTW, when i took it to the apple store, whimsically the laptop wont even run their diagnostics (local or remote) on it!3) Of all the things, it appears that the seller was aware of the gonna-be-issues with this machine, yet sold it anyway. Now with the new machine sent for immediate repair-work, i am stuck with not having one to work with until who knows when!Great Deal = Total Disaster!
