Well, Apple, well,
the products look cool (and i have to admit the iPhone might get me too), OS X is best in terms of usability, but the issues with the quality of the Displays of your flagship laptop are a killer.
MacBook Pro frustration - gramels blog
I had 3 (three) MacBook Pro and sent them all back today. The display just did not fulfill my quality requirements. My Compaq Evo N610c (3,4 years old) and my G4 15" Powerbook have better displays. Brithness and resolution are of course improved, but this is worth nothing if
- screen has a flickering shiny surface (grainy)
- viewing angle is bad
To keep a Macbook with a bad display to have the speed bump would have been a bad compromise.
Therefore I decided to avoid to be continuously annoyed about the display. I will keep my Powerbook G4 a while.
Hopefully the quality issues of Apple will go away and the displays will improve.
