I will tell you the build that Apple has:
> +Dropped it way more times than I can count, usually while closed and turned off but also while it was running, and while it was open (both running and not).
Yes >+Totally stood on it, putting my full weight on the closed lid many times.
Why on earth would I do that? >+Left it running in my closed backpack for almost an hour (twice).
More times than I can count. My MBP has been "shut down" for a maximum of 20 times in the past 2 years. >+Used it indoors and out during drizzle, snow, the height of summer and the low of winter, I even used it on a beach once.
Everything except the snow >The only issue I have ever had was when I was carrying it about 6 ft. off the ground while open and running (brilliant I know) and I dropped it onto a tile-on-concrete floor. That time the hard drive crashed but everything was perfectly fine. Done that as well. The MBP hard disk stops motion when the acceleration exceeds a certain value suddenly -It is not just the build quality.
-It is also about merging design and technology
-Building a durable laptop can be as non innovative as carbon fibre layering.
-It is about removing point of failures/fall/mishaps by innovation like the MagSafe adapters. God they prevent the laptop from falling everyday.
-Also it is not just how it is built but also how it works. I work on Windows in my office and on my MBP by the night. The OS is exceedingly more polished and refined on the Mac.

Does that give a fair perspective? |
