[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 873567, member: 88633"] At a year old, my MBP doesn't have any major scratches on it, just a few on the bottom from sliding around on my portable desk, which could have been avoided. But that's my fault. I handle it carefully and always use a neoprene sleeve to keep it in. As for problems, there's always the chance that you could get a faulty machine no matter what brand of computer you get. Macs aren't any more likely to have problems, and are probably less likely to. Also, if you use it incorrectly, you might have problems that you blame on the computer. (If you start moving a laptop around right after putting it to sleep without giving the hard drive time to stop spinning, you'll probably blame any problems on the computer even though it's your own fault.) I haven't had any battery issues, though I guess I could get three hours out of it. I have the slightly older model and I use it for a lot of video editing, so I probably get less life out if it than other people. But I tend to keep it plugged in whenever possible; I'm always on the lookout for electrical outlets now. [/QUOTE]
