I'd like to throw my two cents in. Apple has improved their service and their attitude immensely and I for one look upon the naysayers as grouches who will find fault with anything. Sheesh! Even such non- computer magazines like the respected Consumer's Reports consistently rate Apple service ahead of everyone else. No one should expect perfection, IMHO... I also think that the new MacBooks set new standards in value and considering the extras included not included in Dell et al, I would think that Apple is joining the mainstream and will become a leader there, too.
