I think anyone who won't spend $200 more for the macbook pro is an idiot the design, battery, backlight keyboard, ect are well worth the extra price.If Steve would lower base model macbook's price To $700 they'd gain a lot more customers.

It's 18 months old and looks like I've beaten the s**t out of it, even though it's been treated very well. I have older PC machines that got the same amount of treatment and they are fine.It suffers from all the design flaws that plagued all plastic MacBooks (whether the nVidia models are different I don't know). <3 Apple.

Are you denying that there are no design flaws? Wow.As for taking it back, the flaws don't exactly show up on day 1 of ownership, so how would I take it back?I can't call Apple as I don't have AppleCare (why on earth should I pay a premium on top of an overpriced machine to get support for design flaws?) and I can't visit an Apple Store as one is 60 miles away. I don't have the battery problems (I thought those only applied to the MBPs) but if I did, I'd probably have to visit that Apple Store. I bought an HP laptop with a battery that wouldn't stay in the laptop, and I got a new replacement battery literally next day. That's customer service - take note, Apple.

Why you gotta be racist. Why not pink, or blue for the cyanotic folks out there.

Happened twice to me and to my friends' with Macbooks. So no, the build quality isn't great.

I don't know who is burring you, but you are correct. It is not staggering. (this comment was typed on a macbook)
