WTF. I've owned dozens of Apple computers over the years, starting with an Apple II and then a IIgs, on through many generations of Macs: LC, iMacs, powermacs, powerbook, Macbook Airs and Pros. I've recommended Mac laptops to at least a dozen family members. In all this time, I can think of three failures: - An iMac that had a bad GPU. Known issue. - Ditto with an MBP. - Recently, an MBA that had the system board go bad such that it would throttle the CPU to 100%. That's it. Apple took care of two of those via warranty. The third, the iMac was way out of warranty but my dad fixed it himself by reflowing the graphics board in an oven. I've also replaced a few batteries, but those are consumables and they didn't fail prematurely.
