In a surprising turn, the new MBPs aren't being well received by industry experts:

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Early-2011-Teardown/4990/1

Apple always made compromises: looks over quality. Sadly the fanboys don't see it and pollute forums with their mythical "build quality". It's certainly the first time they shipped products with obvious flaws, like overheating.

MacBooks are badly designed, overpriced, but… shiny! no blu-ray or usb3 either?

what does either have to do with MBP

Anytime Apple is brought up each side feels a reason to bash ios or Android I'm not sure why but it is a trend I have noticed lately

wouldn't it be osx vs windows?

that's what I was thinking.

But anyway, that article isn't saying anything that we didn't know already. People just refuse to believe it.

no they skip that debate sometimes it starts out mbp are overpriced then it turns into iphone or android bashing

On topic kind of only problem I had with my MBP was mine shipped with the 60(?) watt magsafe instead of 80 so after owning it for 8 months it wouldn't charge anymore geniuses replaced it under warranty with the newer designed magsafe
