I had MacBookPro with winxp on it for 1900 €.

Shortly before the end of one year guaranty there was a black strip in the middle of the screen, and the CD/DVD player was defect.

They changed both but the player was still defect, and the changed it once more. After a certain time the player was defect again.

After two and a half year in the morning I had the black screen of death. I looked in the www and found, that a lot of people had the same problem.

My opinion is, that they sell midrange hardware for a very high prize.

This can be seen, when one want to make guaranty for three years. It costs 300€ more. Says everything.

For a PC notebook three years guaranty costs 60€ more.
