<p>Lergnom,
Where would you resell it?
I’m considering that, but have no idea where or how. Does the warranty transfer to the new owner?
Thanks.</p>
<p>craigslist, ebay.
i’d go for craigslist. there’s an 8% fee for ebay on top of the hassle.</p>
<p>thank you very much for the answer aforautumn. my next question, I was looking at bestbuy.com and saw that there is now huge difference between the macbook pro baseline model and a macbook. The processor speed is slightly slower but I’m not sure if it will make a huge differece and the keyboard isn’t backlit. Are those the only differences between the two? I’m a college student trying to save money and need a new computer because I’m currently using a PC that is beginning to make me mad.</p>
<p>both of them will work spectacularly for basic usage like internet, music, video, word processing, and chat.</p>
<p>i will say, however, that a backlit keyboard is a luxury that is often exceedingly underrated. for me, i think it would be the deal-breaker.</p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing with the keyboard also. I do a lot of games late at night and having the keyboard would be awesome so I wouldn’t have to constantly find the home keys. Now my next thing is to decide between the two. I really like the aluminum unibody but I also wanted a cheap one. I can always have a flashlight in my “mouse hand” lol</p>
<p>is there any reason (besides better insurance than applecare) that i should buy my macbook pro at a Best Buy than the Apple store?</p>
<p>Best Buy will also give you Reward Zone Points worth 5 dollars for every 250 dollars you spend, which is about 30 dollars if you are a RZ member. I’m one and the points come in handy on large purchases.</p>
