Q: Why would a brand new MacBook have a charge cycle count of 18
I just bought a brand new MacBook(early 2016) last week and immediately noticed that the charge cycle count was 18. Is this normal or have I been handed a return or a refurb? Thanks!
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

If you purchased your Mac from an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Retailer, I wouldn't worry.
Otherwise, I would.
You might ask the same question when purchasing a brand new car: "Why does this car show 15 miles (or 15km) on the odometer if it's brand new?"
