Does the second option come from a trusted source?

If you mean the first one comes with Parallels and Windows 7, then that's a nice deal. But only if you'd actually use Windows. If it's just Parallels 7, it's not worth it since it's less than $40 to buy your own.

Otherwise, I'd get the cheaper one.

If it were me, I'd spend the extra $130 for 9 more months of warranty, but I'm also a little overprotective. For what it's worth, I've never needed to do any warranty work with my 2009 MBP (besides a power cord).

I also have two questions about the first one. Do you actually get the license for Parallels or is it technically illegal? Also, does the "parallel windows 7" mean that it comes with a Windows 7 license?

If both questions are yes, then you get $170 (assuming home edition) of software for $130.
