Well isn’t the point of paying the Apple-premium to not put up with any of the shit PC-users do? That’s what fanbois tell me at least.

Apple has more then enough cash on hand to have put rock-solid QC in place before constructing these iMacs. They rushed them to market like a Dell and are paying the PR price.

I thought the difference with Apple was that “it just works” and that people didn’t have to put up with the age-old PC problem of getting lemons. So now Apple joins the crowd where “it’s just good enough”. Stop the moral righteousness of the Apple cause Please.

Seeing that number of “bad apples” compared with total number of shipped machines, I think its not that big problem deal, its obviously not a serial issue, I’m on my week and a half of i7 use, and Im in love with it. hope that he keeps that way.
