I have a 667Mhz DVI model that I've had just under two years.  My only 
real gripes are:

1.  keyboard marks on the screen - I had a leather sheet for a while 
but now I don't need it so much
2.  fingerprints showing up on the case
3.  slight case wear and tear - i.e. latch button is worn/scratched, 
slight case scratches and nicks

Aside from the obvious technical shortfalls compared to newer models 
(like internal Bluetooth and SuperDrive), performance-wise I love the 
machine.  I expect to keep it for some years to come.  I like the 
connections being in the back, out of sight, and I love the thin case 
and light weight.  I never had the paint  bubbling problem and the case 
looks great considering the amount of carried it around.
