With a new design, new features and new technology, the latest MacBook is undeniably impressive. Constructed from one piece of solid aluminium, the unique ‘unibody’ design is ultra-thin, beautifully streamlined, and durable.
Get ready for pure typing bliss - the MacBook keyboard is solid, responsive and comfortable. And it’s illuminated so you can see what you’re typing in low-light settings. Navigation is simple and intuitive thanks to the new multi-touch trackpad, which doubles as a button.

The aluminium enclosure is perfectly integrated with the glass screen, so the sharp picture appears larger and more stunning than ever. And with powerful NVIDIA graphics, you’ll enjoy movies and video with richer colours and finer details.

The MacBook features a blazing processor speed and a built-in iSight camera for video chatting on the go. Store your digital photos, music and video on the large hard drive and enjoy them at the touch of a button with the Front Row interface. Connect wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled peripherals and go online while you’re out and about with AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi.

The MacBook includes iLife software – an amazing suite of applications that make it easy to live the digital life. Use iPhoto to share high resolution photo albums with anyone who’s got an email address. Record your own songs and podcasts with GarageBand. Break into filmmaking with iMovie HD and iDVD. Then take all the things you’ve made on your MacBook and share them on the web in one click with iWeb.

Software included:
iLife ’08 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand))
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard (includes Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, Xcode Developer Tools)

Precisions, precisions, precisions.

From the aluminium unibody to the LED-backlit display, MacBook Pro has been precision engineered down to the smallest detail.


Precision aluminium. The new gold standard.

Carved from a single block of aluminium, the new MacBook Pro unibody enclosure is slim and streamlined with a soft-brushed surface and stunning contours. But it’s not all about beauty. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro more durable than ever. You can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, in a hotel room, or on location without a second thought. So wherever you go, you have everything you need to edit, compose, design and create.



All-new Multi-Touch trackpad
Multi-Touch comes to MacBook Pro in a spacious, silky-smooth trackpad that is also the button.





Cleverly integrated — almost hidden — at the top of the MacBook Pro display is an iSight camera. Use it with iChat and you can be anywhere without actually being there. Video chat with a buddy, share a video with a colleague, or present to a client.5 Use iSight with Photo Booth for fun photo effects. And there’s no need to waste valuable primping time installing software or configuring the camera. Like everything Mac, iSight just works.

well i noticed that he was advertising womens clothing and then the unibody but when he lists the specs for last generation macbook pro.... so can this be a scam and how can he scam me if i use paypal?
 
If it's the old 17" MBP model, before the Unibody arrived, the price sounds about right. I have seen such models going for 1800€ in stores in Europe, even though the € is stronger than the $, but we Europeans always have to pay a hefty toll for Apple products.

If it's the 17" Unibody, it has to be a scam or stolen goods or whatever shady thing.

Or maybe the price will rise.

btw, here's the link to the auction, as it is much easier to read there: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...7.l1313&satitle=180360782015&category0=&fvi=1

Feedback for the user
Why are there no links to the items he sold? Is that only when logged in? Or has eBay removed that feature?

the scam thickens

now he says he will take nothing buyt$950 for it. now if this is not a scam what are the disadvantages (morals aside) of buying stolen goods can apple take them away from you?
 
he asked me for western union payment so thanks for your help but im calling this one a scam guys

disadvantages:
1. it's a crime.

Apple isn't the law. You'll be dealing with the local police and/or any other relevant law enforcement agency.

wow! but this is a scam not stolen goods i sent him this message for fun
"you my friend are a scammer. its paypal or no deal"
 
wait he sent me this email what should i do this is all so confusing
No,

If you feel unsafe about this transaction you can put the money on your wife/mother/father/brother`s name and use my address and after you receive the item you will have to change it back so I can pick up the money.Anyway, I will need the scanned reciept that you received at Western Union,or the exact details(sender`s full name and address, receiver`s full name and address, MTCN) so I can go online and see if the money is really there. In maximum 2 days you will have the item and as soon as you confirm that you are satisfied with your purchase I will pick up the money.
I'm aware, but you asked for the consequences of buying stolen goods...

oh i was just letting you know not telling you that you were a lier. sorry for the miscommunication .
 
now he says he will take nothing buyt$950 for it. now if this is not a scam what are the disadvantages (morals aside) of buying stolen goods can apple take them away from you?

Apple has no power to take anything away.

The police can confiscate the laptop and put you in jail for receiving stolen goods if they feel you knew it was probably stolen. A hungry DA might prosecute you as well and you'd need an expensive lawyer to get out of it.
 
how about this one i think its real

ok macbook pro 15" 2249$ with $200 live cash back and $50 paypal echeck rebate, bring the total to 2019.08$. can you be scammed by echeck?
