When it came out i bought a beautiful powerbook pro for a friend a super
machine.
However a few months afterwards it exploded and caught fire.
Causing four million euros in property damage.
This was all caught on tape by 4 security cameras.(it happened inside a
gallery)
Litigation is still going on.
apparently some models have overheating problems.
More then a year ago some friends and myself started a new airline,amsterdam
airlines and had to select rugged computers for inflight use.
I the end we picked Lenovo X 61's (grid's were to expensive) tablet
computers.
They have been in use now for over a year are thrown around a lot while in
use and have not disappointed us.
I use it for my canin's as well ; both in studio using liveview and on  for
back up and processing and the like it suits me fine.
While the screen is nowhere near as nice as the apples,I think that it can't
be beat for heavy use.
just my two cents,best simon
