Just got my new MBP SR and I'd just like to chime in that it's perfect:
--> No Yellow screen issue or any of the other screen issues people complained about.
--> Zero dead or stuck pixels
--> Lid closes fine on both sides.
--> Temperature under heavy CPU loads with default fan control is between 52 - 58 degrees Celcius (that's fine right?). Laptop is warm, but for sure not hot.
Baught it in Hong Kong at a mall in Shatin (New Town Plaza). Shop is called 'Designer Company' and they seem to be serious and professional about their Mac business. Also got a LaCie Little Big Disk 200GB and Apple Care.
They guaranteed me before purchasing that if there was anything wrong with the laptop within 7 days.. like Yellow screen, a dead pixel, overheating, etc. ...they would exchange it for a new one directly. They even put it in writing on the invoice at my request. Was very happy with that.
Build quality of this thing rocks. My thinkpad is probably less fragile, but in terms of design and usability and pure user satisfaction, this thing runs circles around any thinkpad I've used.
To any thinkpad users out there unhappy with the declining quality under Lenovo... The MacBook Pro is the way to go...hands down. I did alot of research into a better alternative to a ThinkPad and until the moment I started using my new MBP, I was stll in doubt about the move to Mac. My doubts are gone and I'm 100% sure now that I made the right decision.
... I'm Loving it!!!
