READ! Stolen or not fully owned - also badly damaged.

The computer arrived in good condition, but after a thorough inspection problems were found. The screen was cracked, the bottom cover was loose, the screws were over tightened which damaged the case, and the battery lasted about 1.5 hours. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. When setting it up, I got a message that "Null" has remote control access. Thought it was an old custom thing, skipped that step and went on. A few hours later I formatted it as I couldn't remove the user from there and after that I received a message saying "This computer is owned by the Lexington School District" clarifying that they have access to all information on the internet. , as well as the right and access to edit or delete my files. I googled and it turned out that this is a setup of computers sold to companies. This cannot be overridden by the user as Apple checks the computer with its servers and finds it in the remote control list. Now, based on all the positive reviews, you might think I have a bad one, but your chances of getting a good one are 8 out of 10, but that's not the case. It's not that most people have a good one, but most people don't realize they have a bad one. and they won't know until they format it completely, which a regular user doesn't do. If you ignore the message during initial setup, you're saying you're going to keep using it, unaware that the organization owns the computer and can track, block, and delete it whenever they want. If you agree, apart from the fact that this is a badly damaged computer, go for it, but please remember that the number of positive reviews is due to user ignorance rather than quality products. If you google "Macbook remote" you will know more about it. STAY AWAY. The fact that they are powered by Revain means nothing when I spoke to Revain support and they were quick to say they have nothing to do with the product process, they are just picking some vendors. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET YOUR HANDS ON A PRODUCT OF DOUBT ORIGIN.
