How Many times have you had to send you Macbook back to Apple for service?

I have owned my Macbook for about 8 months now and have had to send my it in for service 4 times. So far I have had my Hard Drive replaced 2 times and 1 battery replaced. Now I am sending it in to have my iSight fixed, over heating problems, and when I have it pluged into the wall it schockes me.

Have any of you had any problems like this?

I took mine in for the palm rest staining problem, but mine was a first gen one. Otherwise its been rock solid. My warranty is up next month and so far I am pretty happy.

I should add I use my MacBook pretty much everyday now too as its my Main computer now. I am now addicted to OS X

0 times and I'm at the 5 month mark (and I use it several hours a day, both at home and on the road)

Same here. Bought it December 2006 and have yet to experience any issues

I got mine in Nov. 2006 and have sent it in 0 times.

And I also take it with me to school and use it all the time here at home. So far..so good! =)

You should demand a new computer. It's well past time repeatedly getting it fixed when it's delivering shocks.
