I would have to add a negative note here as I used to swear by the reliability of Apple products but in last five years have had problems with G5 iMac (two logic boards and still not working) 1st Gen iPod Touch ( dead screen ) Black MacBook ( internal connection ) which have consumed many man hours and expense.
It seems in the main that products are fine within warranty but out of can be troublesome. I've learnt now to take out extended AppleCare on all new kit. My two cents.
