Yeah, this laptop was supposed to replace my old MacBook Air. I had that thing for five years, and not once had a problem with it, even after dropping it and damaging the shell. I wanted to get a linux-compatible laptop and switch to it full time, but I'm having serious second thoughts. The build quality of Macs is top-notch, and to use the old cliche, it "just works". Honestly. They're ridiculously expensive, but hey, you get what you pay for.
