Anybody who bought a 4GB MBP with snow-leopard, then upgraded to Lion. 
My box went from being a nice usable machine to sluggish as all heck.

Honestly, the fruit stand charges too much money for what it's 
delivering. With keyboard and mouse failures being common (I had both 
within the first year, and I'm not alone), I can't really think of it as 
a great computer. A car company shipping a product with two major 
usability failures in the first year would be in trouble. But because of 
slick marketing, we accept this from a computer company.

I'm due for a laptop upgrade at the end of the year, and while the 
employer is willing to spring for the latest and greatest macbook pro or 
air, I'm going to have to seriously evaluate whether or not that's 
something I want to do.
