I've never seen a Mac even wear out after many years of use.
I've been using Macs since the late 80s. I've had 5 Macs, personally. I'd say I've had as much experience using them as anyone, ever.

My MacBook Pro crashes occasionally. I get kernel panics if I am doing too many things at once (like running Quicktime and Safari at the same time
). I think it has a lot to do with Safari not being that great of a browser. My Mac also has heat problems but that is a well known problem with the first generation Macbook Pros. I still like my Mac but it's far from the perfect machine that it is portrayed to be.
I even went to a Mac store and got Safari to crash by opening like 5 browser tabs. I did it in front of a salesperson and they couldn't explain to my why it just didn't work. The iPhone also has crash problems when running Safari.
I wish there was a better browser for the Mac, I think most troubles while browsing come from that. Firefox and Opera are far too clunky and slow on the Mac to use, in my opinion. The funny thing is, I have over 10 tabs open right now and I am listening to iTunes and have a word processor open right now in the 6 year old PC I am using and there aren't any problems whatsoever. This would cause massive kernal panics on my laptop.
Are there any other browsers for Mac that I should look into that aren't Firefox or Opera? (sorry if this is too much of a threadjack.) Or I might have to try reinstalling OSX like was suggested to me on the official Apple troubleshooting forums. That's funny, I thought with Macs we weren't supposed to have to reinstall the OS like with one of those laughable PC's.
