Love mine. Best computer I've ever owned. My biggest complaint is that I spent even more time working since I upgraded to my MBP.
Got a tip for us?

I love my MBP as well!!! No problems so far since the beginning of March. Apparently I have the "defective" GPU chip but I've seen no sign of any problem as of yet, maybe I won't.
Well...it's really quite simple when you think about it..all you gotta do is...
Well, I'm not sure where I'm going with this one but I think that we are creative enough to think of something
lolBut, in a ll seriousness, my MBP is the best laptop that I have ever had to pleasure of working with, recommend it to everyone that's looking for a new computer or even to people who aren't. lol.

My MBP is coming from apple by friday of this week. Im sooo worried about the GPU problem. If the new versions come out and I love them, I may upgrade to that...so it would either be a 2-3 year investment, or a 1-2 month...I just hope mine arrives safe and defect-free!
Very happy with my purchase
I like my MBP. I had some concerns before the purchase but I don't regret. It's awesome machine! I have my MBP over year and absolutely no problems so far (knock on wood). Very happy with my purchase

Been a rock solid laptop for me for 2 years now
No errors, No problems except a replacement battery, and installing more memory was as simple as 1-2-3 and I am a computer hardware IDIOT

"OH MY GOD I"M SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW APPLE LAPTOP I JUST WANT TO TELL THE WORLD!!!"
So am I
Wow, nice to hear. Mine is coming in a few weeks, I ordered even though aware of the rumours of GPU problems, case revisions, and whatnot. Couldn't help myself when I saw one in the flesh -- they look gorgeous!
Best computer I have ever owned, best $2400 I have ever spent It's really powerful and all in a wonderful design.
One problem though is that after a good number of hours being on, playing Flash videos appears to get flickery. I'm fine with dealing with this because a reboot fixes it, but yeah, it's just a minor annoyance. Probably because of the nVidia GPU's everyone's talking about ><.

My first Mac laptop was the small and perfectly (at the time) formed 2400, then an iBook, then a black MacBook and now a 15" MacBook Pro (with 4 gig of ram and the 2.6 gHz option) All been good, but each new one much better than the one before. My wife has the MacBook Air which is very lovely, but not powerful enough for my needs. Unlike my dual quad core MacPro with it 13Gig of ram.
And they all look stunning . . .

Good to hear some positives....in spite of all of the defective gpu issues.
Received mine yesterday, but did not open, contemplated returning.
Going to open today and get to work. My last notebook was a Powerbook G4 and I loved it.
Can't wait to see how the MBP eats up Logic Pro and Pro Tools.

I'm quite pleased with mine, but the many defective ones (and then bad screens) I had to go through to get it, coupled with the GPU issue, kind of curbs my enthusiasm. I'm not looking forward to dealing with the GPU failure because it'll probably happen when I really need the computer. to sum up: great computer (size, power, display, design etc) but with some very serious quality control issues. Is it worth the price? Not if it breaks down after the first year....
I love my MBP. The only problems I have with it are fairly minor:
1. I have had the backlight vertical striping issue on rare occasions. As long as I turn the brightness up before putting it to sleep, the striping doesn't appear. I would take it to get it fixed, but I'm afraid that they would screw something else up.
2. Nvidia's Windows drivers are terrible. 2D performance is slow, and it causes audio dropouts. I'm waiting to see what GPU Apple chooses for the next revision. Maybe ATI would be better, but I'd love it if Matrox would get into the mobile GPU business.

Some people report artifacting while trying to do something GPU intensive. I myself never had artififacting just straight up BSODs/kernel panics over the course of a week or so every 6 hours. Then finally it just stopped displaying video at all.
