after spending four grand on this thing when it came out. i charished it. I took good care of it, its just that the units parts crapped out.
The screen hinges were a known problem apple never had a recall. It got to a point that in the fourms apple representives would not comment on the issue. Same goes for the dvd drive dying. The only thing apple did was recall my battery charger because it started fires. So I did get a new yo you charger that replaced my warn out ducktaped fire starter charger.
Had a powerbook (lombard). Lasted two years great. Then the hinges that held the screen wore out. Screen became very dim. Key broke off the keyboard (my fault). By the end it stopped reading dvds too, mechanical faliure.
I built a PC a year later. Will never buy apple again. But I do have an ipod. Which broke too.. As well as the second one I got.
