Not sure what version Macbook pro this is...

[bozeefus]

update: i just learned that the macbook pro is still under warranty (as expected since it's an early 2008 model) for several more months per the seller and confirmed from the apple.com warranty status website. my question is, if i buy the macbook pro and it needs to be fixed due to whatever issue, can i take it to an apple retail store to get it repair with just a serial #? i would not have in my possession any proof of purchase...


I found a seller for a Macbook pro but I have difficulty determining what year or model the macbook pro is.

This is what he told me:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version: 1.27f1
Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

i found this very nice website:

based on what you guys told me (and thank you for the quick responses!), the link above seems to correlate with what u guys are saying.

www.mac2sell.net is a good online source to get a value of used macs. They're a bit on the low side, and don't take into account extras like software, cases, etc.

I haven't had a problem with taking a machine I bought from somebody else within the initial applecare warranty. If you want to be safe, you can have the original purchaser sign a form available from the apple support website and include a copy of the purchase to ensure you're covered. At the very least get some sort of documentation that you bought it that includes a serial number, like a bill of sale.
