Hi I wonder if any one can help my grandson recently bought a macbook and now has decided to sell it!
He has it got on trademe st the moment http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/laptops/laptops/apple/auction-1230910984.htm
Would consider a swap for a Windows 10 laptop swap cash either way if this would suit I realize he's going to lose out as its to new.
Or perhaps some one on here might like it PM me if interested.

I hope your grandson can get a swap deal, because I suspect he isn't likely to get what he is asking. No one is wanting to pay a similar price or more for second hand, than they would pay for the same model (or better) in the apple refurb store which carries an apple warranty.

Refurb store is out of stock right now, so perhaps someone is in a hurry to get that model and he will get a sale.

 

If he wants to run windows, why not use Bootcamp?

I have an Asus Zenbook i7, 8Gb Ram 256GB SSD running Win 10 which has had very light use in just over a year. I use it mainly for transferring large video files when I'm out filming, but since I bought it I have been slowly migrating to Apple so I can use Final Cut Pro. Its a lovely laptop in perfect working condition and in very good condition but with a small dent on the cover. Its now becoming the wrong operating system for me.

 

I have been thinking about swapping it over for a MBP.
