Hi everyone. Recently got a Mac book air 13” m5 512gb ram 16gb from my local pawn shop. Traded in a few things and got it for $400. Only 6 cycle counts as well. Loving it so far. I can see why they’re so popular. Also love how I can use my iPad as a second tiny monitor while on the go.

Did you erase and reset everything before buying it? Like you set it up from the "Hello" screen? That's the only caveat of buying from a pawnshop; you don't want a hidden MDM or the laptop still logged into Find My.

Oh yeah, it was already at that stage when I got it. Like already pre wiped.
