just remember that these various hardware problems are equally likely to show up on the macs, since everybody uses the same contract manufacturers and the profit margins are too low for adequate burn in anymore.

So, the thing to look for is the best US-based support which apple clearly wins at. But there are certainly hardware problems with the macbooks and pros. They seem to have nailed down the random shutdown issue (heat sink and top cover from what I have read) but if you have the issue you need to drop it off to apple. Still a pain.

of course the virus and software bugs are nonexistant in apple.
