[X4U] What to watch for with used MacBook?

[Jens Selvig]

I'd be prepared to purchase a new battery. You might want to look at  
the cord to the power brick and make certain it is not warn. The  
amount of included memory. I am not sure how you tell if the hard  
drive is going bad. I have an 18 month old Power Book Pro and have  
replaced both the HD and the battery. Fortunately I had Applecare  
which might still be in affect if the unit had it and is young enough.
