Open box leader!
#1
Finally bought a new Mac. First time in 12 years.

M1 Mini, scored for $539 open box. Have yet to fire it up. Also bought an Asus ProArt monitor so I'll have something to look at.

when you 'leader!' yourself, it becomes a curse, isn't that right? I can't find the FAQ at the moment.

Have I cursed my mini? Yikes! It will take me 86 years to beat.

Hopefully it didn't come from BestBuy!


No leader for you!

Microcenter deal? I bought an open box from there for that price

Just be careful - the first one I bought was activation locked (previous user didn't clear out his/her iCloud completely when they returned it to MC and MC didn't check apparently)

Luckily, when I went to return it, they had another open box for the same price so I rolled the dice on that one and came up a winner (ie, no activation lock)

It was a bit disconcerting that when I returned the locked one, I told the person that it was locked - seems he didn't care or didn't know what that meant because he just printed out a new MC open box price tag, slapped it on the box and it was back up for sale on their website again within hours

Thanks, pinkoos, I will be sure to check that. Is there a way to update/reset to 11.1 that will default to a clean install?

Why 11.1?
