On a Mac, factory reset it unless I got it direct from Apple (ideally picked up by hand from an Apple Store). On any other laptop, full erase and install Linux or Windows from scratch.

If the package was sealed, why factory reset?
Because anyone can buy a plastic sealer.

They could have put a brick in the box, then put the box through the sealer, and who would be the wiser?
