We've had to return a couple for broken CD drives and more than a few keyboards have been replaced. And the keyboard really isn't any more flimsy than other notebook keyboards. We have more problem with Compaq and ThinkPad keyboards than iBook. While we've not experienced the horrendous logic board problems that others have (no secrets here, just luck that they weren't in the problem range) we've experienced more problems with the white than the colorful iBooks.
