I also had very mixed experience. In Switzerland I now avoid them like the plague and I go to certified service partners instead. Problem there is that there's always an issue, like screws not sitting tight and falling out after service, or some non essential component not being reconnected again, like keyboard backlight. Lately my position on Apple is: I buy their iPhones and their iMacs. One has comparatively good service, the other rarely needs service because it isn't carried around and doesn't contain a battery. For laptops I was hoping that Windows 10 tablets would be any good, but was severely disappointed again, especially by the software side, Windows is a total mess. Right now I'm at a loss at what my next portable computer is supposed to be. Maybe Lenovos upcoming classic thinkpad line with Ubuntu? |

Unless Apple comes out with something really special this year (early 2011 13" MBP → late 2013 13" Retina MBP was an impressive upgrade), I am considering building a Linux desktop and a pairing it with a really nice monitor. 1TB SSD is only $400 now, which seems like a really nice deal compared to even last year.
I'll keep my Macbook around for using Adobe apps, I guess. Other than that I can't think of a pressing reason to stay on OSX.
