Only fair I share my past two weeks.
I have two Macbook Pros from work. They have been great and are both 3-4 years old with heavy use and travel. They run as quickly as the day they were originally purchased, which means a modern machine doesn't really squash them.
Last week my 15" stopped powering up altogether. I know what this means... it needs a $400 repair. Fuckit. It belongs to work. They can deal with that.
Today my 17" decided to stop waking from sleep. Apparently if conditions are right, it can get caught in a loop when you close it, overheat, and fry. It boots just fine, but no internal or external display... I have an appointment at noon tomorrow. Should be fixed for free, but I'll likely be without it a few days.
And yet I'm still likely going to buy a new 15" next week after they announce new cool stuff because I need one at home.
I write this from my PC that I built for $500 a couple years ago. No fans, no noise, plays all the latest games, but runs Vista...
I hope you PC boys enjoyed this.
