What we check — 7-point checklist
Every inspection covers these seven points. Read our detailed inspection guide on the blog.
Serial Number Verification
Checked against Apple's activation database to confirm it is genuine, not stolen, and matches the seller's claim of model, year, and configuration.
Battery Cycle Count & Health
Maximum capacity percentage and cycle count pulled directly from the system. Anything below 80% capacity or above 500 cycles is flagged in the report.
Apple Diagnostics (Full)
A full Apple Diagnostics pass covering logic board, sensors, fans, storage, memory, and wireless. Any error code is reported in plain English.
Screen & Display
Tested for dead pixels, brightness uniformity, image retention, True Tone, and (on Pro models) ProMotion 120Hz refresh and mini-LED local dimming.
Keyboard & Trackpad
Every key tested for registration, backlighting, and (on butterfly keyboards) sticky-key failure. Trackpad tested for clicks, force-touch, and gestures.
Ports & Connectivity
All Thunderbolt / USB-C ports, HDMI, SD card, MagSafe, 3.5mm jack, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth tested with real devices — not just software probes.
Activation Lock & iCloud
Confirmed the Mac is signed out of iCloud, has Activation Lock OFF, and Find My disabled. A Mac still locked to someone's Apple ID is a deal-breaker.
