After a long time of researching, thinking and debating, I've decided to buy a Macbook. However, I keep reading about all these problem and I'm wondering if Apple is trying to fix them. Will buying a Rev A later on in the summer be better? Or does Apple not fix major stuff like temperate and mooing issues until the Rev Bs?
Got a tip for us?

How long until the Rev. A batches are fixed?

You will always find someone to complain about a machine ... its the nature of mass production.
Rev B usually takes care of the majority of the quirks but new things are always popping up and things like "too hot" are very subjective and are probably never truly fixed giving the subjective nature.

I always check up this type of forums before I purchase my computer. So far, there are so many negative comments on various forums, even though that is not a scientific way to measure the workmanship of the machines.
I did not buy iBook when I was ready many comments on logic board problems; but, I bought the last rev iBook as I detected more praise on its virtues.
I checked up MB at an Apple Store and a CompUSA store. I noticed the display machines exhibited tendency to show more beach-balls than I recall with iBook and PowerBook. Maybe some customers messed up the machines; but, I have not seen the same conditions with iBook/PB when I was checking up the machines at the store.
I admit new MBPs look nice; but, I have decided to wait till next year when more Universal Binary software becomes available. I hope Apple will learn a lot from "beta testers (i.e.. early adopters)" to fine-tune their hardware. After that stage is done, I think MB and MBP are ready for a prime time.
