2.16GHz would be the first-generation 17" MBP. Instead of 2 months old, it's probably 2 years old, be aware of issues with original Intel Macs (like the screen only supporting thousands instead of millions of colors on some units). Also there are RAM limitations (2GB max) and the processor is a 32-bit one. That said, the price is right so go for it...

"I have an ibook G4 but the price is too good to pass up."
And like many things that are "too good to be true..."

A 2 month old MBP for $600 would fall under the "what's wrong with it?" category.

Call me suspicious, but that's too cheap to be true. There's a catch, what does the warranty checker say?
This link will take you straight into the Apple warranty checker:

If it has Applecare go for it.
PS - be sure to have everything working in your hands before handing over cash.

Thanks for your input everyone.
I just sent an email asking if it had apple care, and Id like to see it working.
He said previously that its 2 months old and he only used it 3 times...needs the $ urgently, and isnt fond of macs.
Ill keep you posted.

Hi Tracy, If you get the serial number from him, you can confirm the Applecare using the warranty checker link further up this thread. Otherwise, take it online when you test it and get the serial off the machine and do it there and then.
Good luck, hope you score a bargain!

Compare the prices these are going for on eBay. I suspect that it may be stolen at this cheap price. If the seller is genuine, you are getting a bargain at the expense of the unfortunate seller.

I always get suspicious at the idea that someone needs money urgently, so they'll sell something cheap. When I need money, I need MORE of it, not less.
That's cheap even for a two-year-old laptop. I sure wouldn't let my Powerbook go for that.
