    So ive had my macbook pro for almost 2 years and i must say....Best investment ive made to date!
    It has never crashed, froze or any typical computer BS. Ive drop it on pavement which put a huge dent on the side, i run my 42' plasma tv on it and no problem, and now im using it to photoshop huge raw photographs and it works flawlessly.
    I still cant believe that i havnt had to format my hardrive yet, considering i download alot of movies, music, and software without any problems or viruses.
    The keyboard is as stiff as the day i bought it and the monitor is bright as ever. I love how i can turn on my computer, get music on, open photoshop, and the internet in half the time it takes for my pc to turn on. Basically this is the ultimate workhorse and i dont plan to get another lap top until this one disintegrates because of old age.

    Glad to hear that your lappy wors like a champ. My mbp just turned 12 month and i never purchased extended warranty. i replaced HDD with WD 320 gb, and it is somewhat faster, but i have tons of room on my HDD and 100 GB vista ultimate partition which i use for work. I hop my MBP serves me well till like .. don't know 2015 or something.

    MBP FTW!

    Mine turns one year in July, yay! :D
    Congrats scyzoryk_o4, my story goes along the same lines as yours does.
    The only upgrade I did was put in 4 gigs of RAM.

    I'm hoping a new line of MBPs are coming out this fall, maybe I'll get a new one, if not, I'm sticking to this one I have right here! :D
