Well, my boss was thinking of a Macbook pro. In the end he's decided against it. His reasons?

1) for the price, he can get a much higher spec dell machine

2) his data, on his hdd is private. Apple won't let him return a unit for repair without the hdd

3) no on site repairs option. Dell offers 24/7 on site repair

His words, not mine. Yes, it's a business laptop, but apple's support simply doesn't serve his needs/requirements.

My experiences with Apple products are mixed - if it works for the first few years, chances are it'll just keep on working. If you're unlucky to get one of the "dud" units, then you're in for trouble. Early 20gb/30gb iPod units, early eMac units (10% d.o.a rate).
