My one year, one month old powerbook is gorgeous. Only flaws that came up were me using it in an unairconditioned environment last summer so i have the sweat stains, and a couple of dents from when someone dropped my bag. Neither of those really apple's fault (though it is the aluminum's) and it still runs great.
My sister's 5 month old powerbook is equally great, though without any dents or stains, and a higher rez screen (it seems so wrong she has a nicer model than me)
My friend just got a macbook after being hardcore windows, he seems to really like it.
And my other got an imac and he only has problems with windows crashing, none with OSX or the imac (though he said burning discs get really hot..which i'd say is expected)
Oh, and another has about a 2 year old 12 inch powerbook, run like a charm despite being beat to hell. It's impressive actually.
So pretty much..5 switchers, no bad stories.

My Dell laptop had 13 motherboards, a new screen, keyboards...just about the only part that was still original after 3 years with it was the hard drive. My mac mini, for comparison, is still all original (except for the 100 gig HDD upgrade and added RAM), but it's been flawless.
I dunno if you've ever heard this analogy, but if you were an alien and visited a hospital, you would think that everybody on the planet was sick.

I think his point was that they willingly fixed the issues quickly and hassle free. The OP did ask for good stories about apple, not who had gotten a good computer 😱
At uni there was an old mac (pre LC series I don't know what model) that was still running every day of it's life as a Quark server. This I think is a symbol of old Apple.
New Apple is: eMac DOA and replaced, 1st ipod died 1 week out of warranty, 2nd ipod died 2 months and was replaced, imac needed screen and powersupply fixed, and my latest purchase, Macbook problems yet resolved with spacebar not working and screen attached wonky!
I have a friend that has no less than 4 Macs in his house and never had an issue with any of them.

You would think that somewhere around 5 mobos, they'd just replace the entire laptop....

Rev A 17 inch G5 iMac ordered the day they were announced, no issues at all. Sometimes the fan noise is a bit much, but the room I am in can get hot and I do a lot of processor intensive things.
4G 20 GB iPod ordered the same day. No issues at all. This thing has been great. Sure it has a few scratches here and there, but it is always in an iSkin and that seems to do a pretty good job.
12 inch 1.33 Ghz Powerbook G4 refurb ordered a year ago. No problems at all. Great little machine for my wife.
512 MB iPod Shuffle refurb ordered about 6 months ago. No problems at all. Great for the gym.
I have never had one issue with an Apple product since I switched in September 2004. Now I want a Macbook badly!

My girlfriend and I just went in to the Apple Store (Northbrook Court, IL) and purchased two black MacBooks last night. They're both absolutely flawless. We installed the 10.4.7 update, and everything's working great. No dead pixels, no whine, no moo, not even that hot. On top of that, the salespeople were both very helpful, but maybe that was just because we were buying about $4,500 worth of stuff.
