Laptops are all equally crap

Apple laptops have almost always suffered from heat dissipation issues, probably due to the fact they're designed to have a small footprint AND to be as quiet as possible.
In your case though, it's a component issue, so I'm guessing Apple's QA hasn't been doing their job.

The Acer was, predictably, a piece of shit, but it didn't break as such. However, the IBM was great, as were the Dells (both Latitudes). The Powerbook was 18 months of problems (mostly related to the screen funnily enough, oh and it was S-L-O-W). The Samsung was great (HDD died after a couple of years, I threw it around a lot), and so far my Sony has been great too.
I think I'll stay in PC land where my laptop works. You should too ;).

2 months old now, 2 months of trouble, and Apple is of no help.
1) Boot Camp driver for the 2.2Ghz model had faulty keyboard driver, mapping was off. They issued a fix four weeks later, fine.
2) Keyboard died intermittently, OS X or Windows, doesn't matter
3) Keyboard is "squeaking"!
4) Touchpad...was touchy, until they fixed it (again), it moved all over the place as I typed...
5) Now Boot Camp update broke the keyboard again.
Why did I get this crap! Who said Apple "just works"? My ass...

That said, we have well over 100 Apple laptops at work, and have an almost surprisingly low failure rate.

Most people are buying it for its nice look only; I have an ugly HP Compaq nx7400 since 2006 and I had no problems with it except for the charger which has been replaced two years ago.
