The MacBook Pro is great, but I have been having so many issues with the battery and charger. I have a few friends who also have it and we all experienced battery/charger issues. My battery would only last for about 10 minutes (if I was lucky) then my computer would just shut off. I returned it to Apple and they sent me a new one, but it was such a hassel! I only had this laptop for about 3 months before it started acting up. Then after I got my new battery, my charger fried and the plastic around the wiring started to melt! It was a fire hazard and I had to talk to an apple fire hazard specialist before they would send me a replacement. I advise people to pay for the 3 year extra insurance that they offer. It's called Apple Care and it will cost you around $300 but it is worth it considering how many problems you will have with your laptop. My paint is already starting to chip away and not even in an area where there is friction caused by my fingers rubbing from typing! I am ready to go back to my PC!
