I have had nothing but problems with macs personally while my partner has had very good luck. I tried the original iMac with the colored shell...crashed and took it back.
Year later I tried MacBook Pro...would not boot up. I took it back to the Apple store at the Beverly Center to exchange...they pulled out another one from the back and tried to boot it up...did not work...they tried on 4 more (everyone they had in stock of that configuration) and none of them worked (clearly a factory fault) so I got a refund.
Last year I bought my partner a new MacBook Pro with the retina display and SSD...worked 1 day and then the screen went out. Took it back...this time to the Apple store at the Grove in L.A. and they replaced it no questions asked.
So while I do agree that if you get one that works initially they last damn near forever, they are not perfect and I certainly have experience more than my share of bad luck with them!!
