    Your friend will have to contact AppleCare and have the Warranty transferred to you if he sells it to you first off, and as for the reciept, I'm not sure what will happen there. It's something your friend will have to ask while he's talking to AppleCare.

    Every notebook comes with a 1 year standard warranty, you can purchase addiontal warranty time from AppleCare before your initial 1 year runs out.

    its just a question if he bought APP as well or not.

    If you want that warranty he does on have it to be transferred to you, than yes.
