I'm getting into this topic a bit late but:
The MacBook PRO is the one that may be more delicate, although
friends ho have them haven't had problems--yet. The MacBook
[replacing the iBook] is solid.
FWIW, my MacBook PRO was knocked off the table and landed face down
on the floor. I've had this happen many times with my Toshiba
laptops and only problem I had was a broken USB port one time. But
the MacBook PRO is a different animal. It booted but there was
nothing but light on the screen. Couldn't do anything to get the
screen to work. I took it to the Apple Store and they sent it to
Apple for repair. It was less than a year old and I did have Apple
Care for it so no charges. That was 2 wks ago. A part had to be
ordered for it. They called me yesterday to tell me the part still
had not come in and they considered this way too long a time for
repair so they offered me a brand new MacBook Pro. Needless to say, I
accepted. I will have to reinstall everything (and I had backups)
but there was no guarantee all my info would still be on the first
one. My only worry is that because I couldn't wipe the hd myself,
all my passwords will be accessible to the techs and I REALLY don't
want to go thru and change them all as it also affects my husband's
passwords and he's very resistant to change. ;-)
Anyway, I'd say the MacBook Pro is fairly delicate compared, at
least, to my Toshiba notebooks from the past.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!" Have a wonderful day!
