I bought my first macbook pro when the thunderbolt hit so that I could support 3 monitors in the future. I've overall been pretty pleased with it. I would be 100% more pleased if it didn't cost me ~3K. When I use something which has such a relatively high cost I expect a lot. The things I do not like about the hardware: * Once you start doing something CPU heavy it sounds as though a jet is taking off from your desk * I've already had to return one due to overheating * Mine makes a _super_ annoying small "clicking" noise when you torque it in any way. It sounds as though two internal pieces don't quite meet, but touching the case causes them to meet and possibly "stick" (will happen when you push down w/ your palm against the body, click the trackpad, move it etc) * My (annoyingly located) ctrl key pops off at least once a day. This seems to be due to my torquing it slightly when using it as a modifier key. All keys may suffer from this, ctrl certainly seems to suffer the most * the stock hard drive is _slowwww_. This can not be over stated. * There are no hardware lights which indicate IO activity (very frustrating when you are just staring at your unresponsive computer) * All the ports (except CD) are on one side of the body * The space between the keys seems to be a dirt / grunge magnet.
