That sounds like original launch stock, but shouldn't a recent open box at Best Buy have been relatively more recent, at least 2021?

As for the charger/cable, it appears they provided new store stock in the original MacBook box. This would have taken a messy person 6+ months to build up. I asked, how someone could get it this aged/dirty during a normal return window, no answer. Disgusting, but a wipe down in-store revealed it to be in perfect condition. Covered in Filth: Listed as "Fair Condition" condition, it was covered in dirt, grime, smudges, droplets, crust, across every surface, top to bottom.It might not matter since I bought AppleCare+ at time of purchase, but now I'm worried what was advertised as open-box was used for many months. Love it so far, but I'm concerned it may of been heavily used and not a simple return at BestBuy, which as a 15 to 45 day return window depending on Elite status. So far the company is off to a great start, having launched the laptop with 11th-gen Intel processors in 2021 and followed through with mainboard upgrades for 12th-gen processors in 2022.Yesterday I purchased an Open Box MacBook Air M1 8GB/512GB Space Grey for $956. But the Framework Laptop has hours less battery life than our top ultrabook pick, and the ability to upgrade and repair it down the line depends on the company continuing to exist and to supply parts. It’s sturdy and surprisingly thin and light for how modular its design is, and it has a reliable keyboard and trackpad plus a bright and spacious display. And the Framework Laptop is an excellent computer, too. You can add more memory and storage, but you can also replace the battery, upgrade the mainboard with a new processor, or repair anything else if it breaks-the display, the fingerprint reader, the keyboard, the hinge, you name it.

Each part and screw is helpfully labeled, along with handy QR codes that direct you to step-by-step replacement guides that also contain links to the exact parts you’ll need. Why we like this one: Every part of the Framework Laptop is super easy to repair and upgrade, and Framework makes all of its parts available to purchase on its website.
