[Dead Corpse]

Our District ordered 8 27" iMac's. 4 had Superdrive problems requiring replacement and 1 had the screen flicker issue.

Out of 8. 4 had issues. One of them had 2 issues.

50% failure rate.

Of the 60 21" in our last order (bringing our total to 200 21" iMacs), 11 had issues right out of the box. Superdrives, dead wireless nics, a bad harddrive, and a twitchy power supply.

We ordered 130 of the new MacBook's. 1 harddrive issue out of the lot.

Bad... but still not typical. I have had reports from businesses that have had 50% failure rates from Dell... so what. The overall reported failures for Apple products is still far lower than for any other manufacturer. Anecdotes do not statistics or facts make.
