Issues with MacBook Registration – Not Appearing on Apple’s Coverage Site

Hello,

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro with the M4 chip from a third-party seller, and everything seems to be in perfect working condition. However, when I attempt to check its warranty status using Apple’s Check Coverage tool, it doesn’t appear in the system. The seller mentioned that this may be due to the fact that the unit was received before the official launch, which could explain why it doesn’t show in Apple’s system.

I’ve also checked the MacBook through “About This Mac,” and everything looks great, including the firmware and the specs, which align with the official model. However, I’m concerned about the potential lack of official support or warranty if it’s not registered correctly.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with early-release or demo units, and is there a way to get this MacBook properly registered in Apple’s system?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
