Buying a used Mac Studio...how to check for any issues?

[Noctilux.95]

Hey guys, I'm looking at a used Mac Studio M2 Max tomorrow and want to make sure there aren't any issues. Any suggestions?

1. Make sure there is no activation lock.

2. If you feel compelled, you can run hardware diagnostics.

Keep your eye on the Apple refurb store. The m2's show up there from time to time. They are safe buys with warranty. They go fast. Only m1's there tonight.
