Not the OP, but personally affected by all of: 1) rMBP screengate, 2) rMBP video problem, 3) Mavericks "Service Battery", 4) MagSafe fraying, 5) 2008 MBP GPU, 6) 2007 MacBook plastic cracking. On the software side, I seem to encounter plenty of little frustrating bugs - like not being able to remove AirDrop from the finder sidebar. Or having my windows reposition themselves every time my machine sleeps while connected to an external display. I've filed many an unanswered bug report... I also feel like Apple's HCI has regressed quite a lot. They tweak Mission Control / Desktops / Spaces every damn release, but there are never any preferences to make it work how you want it to. Around about Mavericks it was near perfect. 10.10 made it glacially slow. 10.11 sped it up, but removed desktop previews. 10.12 has messed with the mouse gesture slowing the animation down, and rubberbanding on repeat gesture instead of closing. Wat. Then there's stuff like the replacement of iPhoto with Photos.... yikes. When you pair all the above with the ridiculously anti-consumer attitude Apple have toward their hardware now (it's 2016 and they are still using proprietary SSD blades, and glueing batteries?), it really pisses me off.
