    Of course it’s not new new, the CPU is 10 years old. But who would think that it is?

      unfortunately most people don’t keep track of CPU generation names.

        But “new” in the context of shopping just means “not used”, not that it was released in the past year or two.

        And as I mentioned in another reply, they are not advertising anything false if those components are actually unused. If the buyer expects some band new, recently released machine with those specs, it’s on them. When you’re buying electronics, some minimal amount of research is required, or you outsource it to your family/friends.
