I've had to open up a number of Apple laptops for friends over the years. It does seem to me that the newer ones have increased in reliability a bit, but not to the point that I don't have to take a screwdriver to one semi-regularly. The only thing significantly reducing the frequency of such repairs is that some of them have become impossible. I own a T61/T60P hybrid I built myself. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I need more than 8gb of RAM. I haven't had a problem with this hardware since the HDD died and got replaced with an SSD.
