I bought a MacBook Pro a few months and I'm already sick of the problems I'm having. First, my power-on button sunk in. That meant a week without my Mac and when I have it again, the bluetooth does not work.
How many repairments will pass my Mac?
I messed up when I boy it? I paid 2000€ for it! Should I buy a cheaper one?
Have you got a similar experience?

Personally, I've never owned a mac and I've never heard any of these problems before. Mac fanboys seem very protective of mac's problems.

I have nothing to say about Mac OS X. I'd never go back to Windows. Never!. I talk just about to pay 2000 € for a bad-built machine with low quality. I'm feeling like a nerd.

Macs are better for certain things than windows is. They can do the same things, basically. It's not a difference between Macs doing art based stuff and Windows doing boring office stuff as said in the commercial, which is a horrible ad campaign. I like the Mac interface better because it looks cooler and it runs better. I have no problem with Windows either.
I go to a Mac forum sometimes, and there is nothing but topics about how people's macbooks are malfunctioning. I think they're unreliable. I am buying a desktop.

Uh, you can use a mac mouse easily. The reason macs are more expensive than PC's, is because they are better quality. If PC's were better quality, while macs were selling at a higher price, Apple would make no profit from macs. So, the greater the quality (Mac), the greater the price.

Exactly, that's why Alienware PC's are so much. I wish I had a mac. I don't really game, I just do photo, video, and audio editing. I have heard of many complaints from the mac book though, but I honestly still really want one.

Im not used to pay for software which is a problem for Macs
And Leopard got delayed (the new MacOS)...sooo.... Idk.

Well it depends on what you prefer, for the business side of things, MAC def. Though they are more expensive, they have less problems.

I agree. Although, I don't prefer laptops. I find they end up with more problems than a regular Mac/PC. I would get a laptop only because they don't sit in one room, and you can take them wherever.

Confusing in the way that your not used to NOT hassling them like a PC to get them to do what you want?
the interface is in no way confusing and every single byte of the hardrive is easy to get to.

That's how I fell man, like If I got ripped off, although I would not change my Mac for the last pc I've been using for the last years.
I bought it trough the Apple Store, they bring the machines from Ireland. But CocoaIdentityCard says that my Mac was built in Shangai, China. That makes me think about the quality of the build process when I've been payed 2000€. Well I suppose that's normal.
And finally, Mac OS X is one of the best OS that exist. I also love Ubuntu (I feel scared about to install it on my Mac...)

Well I say go to an Apple Store closes to you and get it repaired. Don't go to some screwed up shop on the side of the road and get it repaired. I say if you've had it for less then a year, trade it in for a new one. If your interested in gaming, photo editing, graphic design, movie design, web design or anything like that I highly recommend Macbook Pro. I have Macbook Pro the ONLY outer problem I have had with it is the track mouse got stuck, which I fixed easily.
Plus kid who said Macs freeze and were really slow?
Yeah they were probably just low quality or an older version.
I remember in my Life Management class there were some colored ones like that in the back, we used them once. I felt like kicking them they were so slow.
But Mac OS X, yeah it rocks, and I agree, Mac didn't rock until OS X.
And you would have to be CRAZY to buy a Mac Mini.

Mine decides to delete huge chunks of data every now and again. I lost a really important (REALLY important) Garageband file the other day can never re-record it or retrieve it.

And I hate that everything is backwards (like the "close window" is on the wrong side, the "maximise" does nothing, and you can only make the window bigger using one of te corners. So if I want to make something bigger, first I have to move it to the other side of the screen, resize, and then reposition. It makes multiple windows a pain in the ass.
