Hmmm. Keep in mind you have a limitd 14-days to return for a full refund or exchange for one that works out of the box as expected.


Your 90 days of complimentary telephone support begins on the date of purchase.


That 14-day return/exchange policy only applies in countries where you can buy DIRECT from Apple

To Trouble Shoot Further:


—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.



—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-other-users-on-your-mac-mtusr001/mac

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
