    I am looking for the specifications of a new 2017 MacBook 12" m3 model battery in terms of original full charge capacity. I bought a refurbished unit and wonder if the one difference between new and refurbished might be between the amount of battery use. I don't seem to find the listing anywhere as to the original capacity on a brand new one.

    If you purchased the computer directly from Apple, the battery was most likely replaced with a new one.

    Looking at the site, it says that they put a new battery in refurbished iPhones and iPads, but it does not say that for MacBooks. They only promise a new white box.
