Got this laptop just yesterday. its the base model non touchbar. Apparently while I left it downloading the sims 4, when I went back to check it it was restarting. I didn't realize that it was kernel panic until I closed all the apps that are opened and saw the message that says "your computer restarted because of a problem...." is it normal that these kind of things happened? or since this is only 2 day old I should just return it and get a new one? am I just being paranoid? please help! first time experiencing It, sorry!

I bought a 21.5" Mac last year and it regularly kernel panics. Its software reliability is terrible. Its pretty much a waste of money. Send yours back, don't buy apple their software is like a cottage industry.
