Apple MacBook Pro —
Purchased a MacBook Pro (Aluminum) in late 2006 and love it! It was my third Mac; my first was a 1Ghz Titanium PowerBook G4. I have come to appreciate Mac OS X and love the blend of Unix command line capability with easy GUI customizability and friendly media applications. The combination of this machine with VMWare Fusion is an absolutely killer combination for anyone in systems/network administration, web or application development!So far my machine is still going strong-- the battery at roughly 300 charge cycles no longer lasts nearly as long as it did when new. I only get 2 maybe 2.5 hours on a full charge at this point. The latch has failed to close on a few occassions; the first time, the machine was still under warranty so AppleCare fixed it. Recently it happened again and some jiggling of the mechanism caused it to unstick itself. I have had issues with the optical drive with previous Mac laptops, and while this one has not failed yet, it has started to produce a few coasters.
Overall I am pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it.
