I will tell you the build that Apple has:
> +Dropped it way more times than I can count, usually while closed and turned off but also while it was running, and while it was open (both running and not).
Yes
>+Totally stood on it, putting my full weight on the closed lid many times.
Why on earth would I do that?
>+Left it running in my closed backpack for almost an hour (twice).
More times than I can count. My MBP has been "shut down" for a maximum of 20 times in the past 2 years.
>+Used it indoors and out during drizzle, snow, the height of summer and the low of winter, I even used it on a beach once.
Everything except the snow
>The only issue I have ever had was when I was carrying it about 6 ft. off the ground while open and running (brilliant I know) and I dropped it onto a tile-on-concrete floor. That time the hard drive crashed but everything was perfectly fine.
Done that as well. The MBP hard disk stops motion when the acceleration exceeds a certain value suddenly
-It is not just the build quality.
-It is also about merging design and technology
-Building a durable laptop can be as non innovative as carbon fibre layering.
-It is about removing point of failures/fall/mishaps by innovation like the MagSafe adapters. God they prevent the laptop from falling everyday.
-Also it is not just how it is built but also how it works. I work on Windows in my office and on my MBP by the night. The OS is exceedingly more polished and refined on the Mac.

Does that give a fair perspective?
- tuhin 16y agoOk. I am new here but I do know the reason why this was down voted. Could you please explain?
- nkurz 16y agoI didn't downvote, so I'm not sure, but I'd guess it's mostly because of the odd formatting. It's difficult to tell what you are quoting, and what you are adding. I wouldn't take offense. Checking http://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc http://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc might help for the future.
