[QUOTE="ange.seth, post: 522374, member: 41125"] You can just sell it on Ebay as the above post suggested, otherwise you can check out Mac forums that have advertisements/swap/selling threads availabe and you can post it up there, but make sure that they allow for this, thus the reason why I stated if they have such threads as some forums do. However, I'd say that 1gb is good enough really for most use. Maybe just try it out and see if your happy with it, if your not then you can upgrade then. I purchased 2 x 1gb and severely regret it, wish I had just gone for 1gb in total. No you don't. Apart from HDD allotment, the computer takes care of the RAM side of things ;) Don't know about Bluetooth mouses but I've got a wireless one but its a usb mouse, but I'd suggest checking brands like Microsoft and Logitech as they make a fair few variations of laptop mouses. Whilst the scratches aren't really visible the Macbook does get tiny little hair-line type of scratches, this is inevitable, I basically got these scratches even just using it on a soft pillow. You can see these scratches when you look closely and view in an angle against the light/sun so I'd definitely suggest a shieldzone or a crystal casing. I'd also suggest the silicone keypad cover due to the discolouration problems. Check Ebay because bag companies such as STI and other laptop bag companies are quite expensive so maybe just going for a no brand on Ebay for a 13.3" widescreen maybe good enough. I'm in Australia so I don't know where you can get the MB engraved but prior to getting it engraved I'd ask Apple first if this would in fact void your warranty. With iPod's they do a laser engraving so I don't know how different that is from "normal" engraving, but I'd definitely check because unlike RAM or HDD you can't just take it off prior to giving to Apple for service, your stuck with it. Also when you contact Apple, if they say yes your able to without voiding the warranty write down who you are talking to, date, time etc in case they end up saying in the future that it does in fact void your warranty, you've got proof ;) All the best with your new Macbook and enjoy, I love mine and I've had mine for a year already :D [/QUOTE]
