I have been using Apple products for 27 years (ages me) and never had a failure except do to extreme age or accident. I read these posts by people who have had problems and don't know what to think. Maybe I am lucky?
Today I have a MacBook (non-Pro) with 2G of memory running OS X, WinXP, and Linux. It is a blast to flip between them with virtual screens (I am using Parallel's Mac Desktop instead of Boot Camp). The unit can get hot, but that is the only issue I have. The machine is so quiet I sometimes wonder if it has a hard drive at all. I never hear the thing.
While I happy you are happy with your MacBook Pro, I honestly don't see the "Pro" advantage. I think Apple made a mistake here - in the low end favor. If I did a lot of graphic intensive work I might have a different opinion.
