I was alarmed with the problems of the graphics on the macbooks, and if I can criticise Apple at all its the far too frequent refreshes and obviously not enough testing first. Also, the 10.5.7 update killed my M3 USB connection just when I was about to record some stuff. Most annoying. Worst of all is I bought my macbook pro 1 year after 10.5 and then realised that the audio interface and TI still didn't have the drivers for another few months. Now THAT was annoying
But I do think that forums shouldn't be a gauge of real life experiences. Learn to work around these problems. Have disk image backups and make them frequently. Have a backup plan in case one particular piece of hardware gear isn't working. Have an old PC around so you can use that if nothing else works. Protect yourself from being totally stuffed with a problem. This is a positive strategy, whereas complaints on forums are well, complaints...
