As the owner of a Lenovo work horse, I'd have to respectfully disagree. It's rugged, powerful and has survived freezing weekend/overnight conditions that have damaged macbooks. If something had actually failed, I could have easily swapped it out. I was just trying to make the point that 37Signals and Apple have a similar reality distortion field. |

My MacBook has been used heavily for four years, and is going strong. The screen, keyboard, and touchpad feel great. The screen is vibrant, with a wide view-angle. The operation of the hinge, the magnetic power adapter, and the layout of the ports is good. The sound is unequaled, in my experience, in a laptop form factor.
I don't know if it survives freezing. I don't really care, though, since I use my laptop on my lap, which isn't freezing.
It sounds like you care more about edge-case exposure issues, which are relevant to you. I care more about the daily user experience.
I've read many posts slagging Apple for overpricing, but when I examine the components, it's as good a deal as any. For example, most cut-rate Wintel laptops have utterly crap screens, something you don't know until you use a better one, and yes, I know Lenovos are [were?] said to use some good ones.
