Ironically probably one of my biggest reasons against buying one is it's obvious desirability.

I've already once in my life been in a situation where I can say with certainty the only reason my laptop wasn't stolen is that it wasn't a MacBook(despite having equal or above retail purchase value). I wouldn't be surprised if there's more that I never knew about.

How easy is it to flip a macbook tied to an apple id? i'd imagine you'd have to sell it for parts.

Granted, selling this one for parts might literally be easier.
