I have had a lot of Apple Laptops including the original 'lugable' Mac portable, which had lead acid batteries and weighed a ton.

The only issues I had were with the white polycarbonate G3 iBooks which suffered with the motherboards cracking near the vRAM chip due to heat fluctuation.

My current 13" MBP is rock solid and I take it everywhere with me. I use it for video work and testing, it get's a lot of stick, I never turn it off, I just use it.

Within the first week the screen went faulty, some of the LED's died. I took it to the Apple store just before they closed at about 21:30 and they couldn't reproduce to fault but I had taken a photograph of the fault with the 'About this Mac' window showing so they accepted my complaint and replaced the screen with no further pressure from me. I collected it at 9am next morning before they even opened. It must have been worked on overnight. It has been fine since.
