Hi,
I'm really getting desperate with Apple laptops. My previous MBA and my current rMBP are excellent in some regards but damn, they're still too far from being usable machines. My MBA would get a corrupted hard drive as soon as I moved a big enough file and I'd have to reboot to repair its brand new SSD it about once a week. My early 2013 rMBP has been freezing regularly without mentioning anything in the Console and the only way out is to power it off. I've tried PRAM and SMC resets, I've tried clean installs, I've even tried installing Yosemite. All I've learned thanks to Yosemite being a bit less bad than Mavericks is that the problem is "graphical". I couldn't learn more though because after kindly putting a word on what's been interrupting my work for months, it still crashed. I don't want to bring it to a tech because honestly I already know what's going to happen. I'll be left without my work machine for a week and they'll say they can't reproduce the bug.
What the hell should I buy, now? I've thought of simply updating to the next generation rMBP but there are even more freeze rumors with those! And what if I stumble once again upon a model that has a WiFi chip that is noisy and I have to lose a week to get it replaced? Should I buy like 10 models at once, try them all and keep only the less buggy one? I don't see any other solution
Thanks for the help
forlong
