It depends on your definition of "new". Resellers may well sell a
laptop that has been sitting on the shelf for a while as "new" (since
it has never been opened or used), but the battery will still have been
degrading while it has been sitting there and could be quite old.

*BUT* that's pretty unlikely from Apple since they don't tend to keep a
lot of stock sitting around. It might happen with a "refurbished"
laptop, but then that isn't "new".
