Had to try to rain on my parade, didn't ya? ;-)

Power seller. Over 99% positive feedback. Reportedly an unregistered  
brand new MBP with everything except the original box. All things that  
are normally inside the box of new MBP are present. I don't yet know  
if the screen is matte or glossy, but so long as it works, I don't  
care much. Would prefer glossy, but won't blink if it's not.

Got it for $2200. Normally $2650 tax included. Was planning on buying  
a new 256MB VRAM model which would have cost me $14 less than this  
one, so I got the extra VRAM for $14 instead of $500-600.

I'm not quite sure this seller knew what he had. Lots of electronics  
sold, but few if any MBP's. We'll find out, but I have high hopes.  
Very good feedback from other buyers. And he's already responded today  
via email--a very good sign. Bought it through PayPal anyway, so at  
least $2K of it is guaranteed.

It should be a nice upgrade from my Mini Core Duo 1.66 GHz.

Thanks for your experience.

BTW, does the VM using the Boot Camp partition still get larger as  
more storage is needed like a regular Parallels VM?
