Folks...any Apple geek will tell you, DO NOT BUY VERSION 1 of ANYTHING by APPLE....not right out of the gate.

It's always best to wait a good 6 months before buying any brand new apple product, so they can work out the bugs.

Unfortunately, Apple BETA tests on the buying public....they won't admit that, but their stuff is typically more faulty in the first 3-6 months of initial release, and it's the foaming at the mouth, paying public who becomes guinea pig for the product.

I experienced this first hand with the very first run of ClamShell iBooks that came out in 1998. My drive went down in 2 months, and I lost alot of data.

I'm a dedicated Apple user, and love their stuff, but I learned my lesson....So have alot of other people.

Also, the rest of the non apple 3rd parties are not yet compatible with their new stuff yet, so until THEY get up to speed, your brand spankin new Apple product isn't compatible with the rest of the world yet.

So, best to wait...and when you DO buy, ALWAYS buy Applecare if it's available.

My 2 cents.
