The hardware sucks. In the company I work at, we have quite a few
apple laptops (both MBP and MB). Failure rate in the first half year
is somewhere around 20%. Mine had a mechanical failure after a year
(lid wouldn't close anymore), others have had their hard disk or
motherboard die.
I still think it looks nice and it's pretty fast (compiling a kernel
takes ~2 minutes, userland ~45 minutes) but other than that, it's a
shitty piece of crap. And it has a Core 2 CPU ;)
Just my 2 rappen.
