around the corner with the MBP.

I had an iMac that developed fault after fault; monitor developed strips of blankness, DVD stoppedworking, something else (oh, ethernet was replaced under warranty)...I put another monitor on it and it lasted ten years all told. For me, if something breaks they're never the same but if it doesn't, you're good for years.

But as for iPad etc I've just gone the other way and bought a MBA because I'm too much of a keyboard person to use an iPad on the go (yes, I have an external keyboard but it's not the same). Rather than get an iPad you might get the entry MBA for 700 quid.

I agree about taking it to the Apple store: it's a bit random but you hear lots of stories about them being generous or offering refurb deals etc.

I don't think build quality has gone down
