    Wasn't this something that Apple made fun of Windows for doing? Well it looks like the tables have turned. Windows 7 is the rock stable os and OSX is the POS. No wonder Apple got rid of those I'm a Mac ads. They're pure lies.

    No, it is nothing like it. MS has the blue screen of death. That's what they mocked. This is just a computer freezing. Probably not evening core dumping.

    Apple really needs to get on that quality control problem they are having. I'm just glad I got the previous model BEFORE the hybrid Intel/Nvidia 2010 model...LOL
