I've developed on a MBP using Flex Builder 2 and 3 for years. I've never had any issue. Just recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to 4 gigs of RAM over the original 2, mostly so I can run a Fusion Virtual Machine at the same time I'm working in OS X. As far as Apple hardware goes... I always get AppleCare for laptops, but I haven't ever needed to use it. My previous Apple laptop, a PowerBook G4, is still going strong. It's almost 7 years old, and my wife uses it. It still runs like a champ.
