My Macbook Pro was supplied with a faulty display.
Having been promised 4 week repair period, it took over 6 weeks and some harrassment to repair in Qatar.
Sure it is sexy and works well now.
I have recently upgraded to the Macbook, after an HP failed on me just outside its guarentee period.

By contrast my ASUS netbook worked perfectly from day one (bought 2 years ago) and still does.
I have just disposed of my first ASUS laptop, bought ten years ago in HK (still worked, BUT heavy as a brick :) Never a problem !
I question quality control of US sourced laptops.
