[QUOTE="infocusinc, post: 1257586, member: 193687"] After years of doing advertising photography using a PC I decided to try a Mac, I've not "changed" I still use both systems. And yes, 4 re-installs, as prompted by Applecare. First the system was freezing may times a day and the usb ports would not work in my application. There are OS upgrades and two two re-installs and still the USB is dodgy at best, I won't take a MBP on location and do production work as it is not reliable. The the system failed to wake from sleep, and a third reinstall. Finally the last round of updates broke the computer to NEC monitor connection, and once again a re-install was needed to get it back, this time leaving out the updates. I don't think I'm going to install any more OS or other updates on this thing.... This is since the introduction of the 2011 MBP back in March? I use the mbp daily and it works great for email, web surfing etc. I just won;t use it for photo processing or retouching as I'm still way faster on a W7 platform and time is money. And given the crappy usb performance ( don't ask about the 2010 MBP) I won't take a MBP to a location shoot where need to tether my camera in a reliable manner. I keep using this thing every day, thinking I'll find it faster or better. Maybe I will..... [/QUOTE]
