I would not buy a Macbook under no circumstance until apple changes the requirement of needing to connect it to their proprietary configuration system to verify the repair and parts have been setup in their internal service repair portal. Dell on the other hand can be fixed, all on your own, with no support from dell. Other then the disassembly instructions that they will gladly give you in the owners manual. Try to get disassembly instructions from apple as a consumer. Go ahead, I'll wait.
