In reply to this. I've been using my MacBook for a month and I also don't seem to have that much trouble with it. This is the first Mac that I own, but I support Macs at work and they just seem to work. Anyways, back to the MacBook. I've had it for a month and it's been working great except for a few issues that could probably be fixed with a firmware update.
1. The whine only happens under intense load. That is while running Word under Rosetta while also using Parallels or compiling (DarwinPorts).
2. Heat. Yes, it does get hot, but not enough to burn someone. It's warm enough though that at times especially the Bay Area summer you don't want to leave it on near you while napping. It may release even more heat!
3. Sleep issues. Sometimes the sleep doesn't always work correctly especially coming out of sleep mode. But that's every once in a while not really all the time.
4. Scratches. I take my MacBook in my backpack without any protection on it, so it's gonna get scratched. (Think of it as a big iPod :))
Other then that I love it! It's been rock stable. I do all my development on it and it's just an awesome experience especially coming out of Windows and Linux. Things just work and I haven't had any other issue associated with it. I guess the sound could be louder, but we can't win them all. Overall I don't know about others, but this machine is just nice and I will buy more Apple products later on, count on that!
