Mold Smell: Brand New MacBook Pro I just got a brand new MacBook Pro in the mail —directly from Apple. The inner box that was sealed with plastic smelled very powerfully of mold when I opened it. The outer brown box that it was shipped in didn't smell of mold, nor was it wet. The computer itself also smells of mold, even though I have had it sitting out overnight. I didn't see any desiccant pack in the inner box, which is presumably why it got moldy. I didn't see visible mold but the smell knocks one over. I have not migrated anything to it, because I figured I'd be sending it back, in that this is not what I expect from a brand new MacBook Pro from Apple. I live near an Apple Store and am considering returning it there. Thoughts?

mold I bought the MacBook Air from Costco and first the box smelled bad of mold so I opened it and the whole computer smells like mold. Is there anything I can use to get rid of the smell as I am allergic to mold and I don't want to have to take it back to Costco as it is not very close to me.

MacBook Pro smells like rotten eggs. Is this dangerous MacBook Pro 2015 I've been using for hours and is starting to emit a foul smell. What the hell is this?
