[want to buy a mac]

I'm considering buying a slightly used macbook.  How difficult is it to transfer ownership and wannanty info?  What would you consider a good deal price wise?

Thanks in advance.

in the uk, i'd buy a used base white macbook for.... £650-700 i'd guess, depending on condition.  if it had damage, i'd want it for even less.

The AppleCare warranty transfers relatively easily...

The standard one year may be a similar situation, although Apple keeps good records and can tell if it's still under warranty, regardless of who has it.   I've never had a problem.
