[QUOTE="Jem, post: 278289, member: 19842"] I'm having difficulty seeing this point of view... how's it a mistake for a company to now have a rapid gain on market share, sales going through the roof, many satisfied customers and only a few with issues? I think they've done a remarkable job over the past 18 months, when the first Intel iMacs came out I was curious as to how they could remain sufficiently different from Windoze PCs but they slowly worked their way under my skin and, partly due to the knowledge I'd still have a Windows safety net, I switched from 20 years in PC land to a wonderful iMac coreduo a few months ago. And I've hardly ever fired up Parallels... it was just the warm-fuzzy feeling that I could return to my old world if I wanted to. I've had no major issues and am more than happy with my purchase, I think there's many many more people like me out there, as has been stated already, forums are always full of people with problems and offer a skewed view of reality. Sure there's a few issues, but I have read of people here with serious heating issues going back to Apple and having the notebook replaced and the problem disappearing so it does appear there are some hardware glitches, but they don't appear to be design related, they sound more like manufacturing defects.
