Hi folks,
I really want this machine. It would be my first ever mac, even though I've owned dozens of computers, so I don't really know what I'm getting myself into. I've heard bad things about random shutdowns, battery failures, even burns and fires caused by the charger...
Are these issues real and as common as they appear to be? Or does it just appear that way due to the amount of blog coverage? Anyone here actually had one fail in a serious way? Have the new hardware updates fixed anything?
The other downside is that I'm going to triple boot Windows and Linux on it, which may cause Steve Jobs to personally hunt me down and smash the laptop with a wooden mallet - is this covered by standard warranty?
