Snipped this quite a bit ...<br><br>
Stephen you might be able to claim against Apple for 'not providing a
product that is reasonably usable for the purpose for which they claim it
is able to do' (or whatever the correct phrase is) if the keyboards
become unreadable after only a few months use. The way warrantee issues
are handled seems nasty too.<br><br>
Against our better judgement we have allowed a few stewnce to use iBooks
here if they run XP. Of the 2 options, I prefer Bootcamp over
Parallels.<br><br>

Unfortunately we have found that the scope of their warranty support
makes them a poor choice for staff notebooks.<br>
They force staff to individually hang in the phone and negotiate through
the service maze cf. quick and onsite response from Lenovo.<br>
They also refuse to repair or replace the wear on multiple staff notebook
key labels, which have made them near to unusable (see attached
photo)</font></blockquote>
