if you buy used you will have to make sure you will be able to register the software and see if the person selling it already did so. if they have it registered already, you will have to see if they can remove it from their account so you can use it.
when you buy a new one, you also get a voucher for $30 to go towards a case and maybe some other stuff, but have fun trying to get that. in order to get the voucher you have to register the x1 hardware, but they have a massive problem with registering these devices so you will get an error. then you have to contact customer service and they will try to talk you out of registering until you bother them enough for someone to send your fucking serial number to germany to have some asshole manually put it in the system 8 days later so you can register it. then they won't send you your voucher until you bother them 2 more times. i guess your mileage may vary, but that was my experience.
