The only reason it seems like there are more problems is because more people are buying the Intel Macs compared to the PowerPC Macs. So naturally it would seem as though there are more problems with the newer models. Say, for example, Apple has a 3% rate of manufacturing defects. Now, when you're selling 1 million units, those 3% of people doesn't seem to be very large. But once you start selling 10 million units, that 3% becomes a bigger number. So while the percentage stayed the same, the overall number grew, and thus, it gives the illusion that the newer computers have a higher defect rate.</blockquote>
