Depends on the model, I suppose. Back when the original MacBook Pro was
introduced I was in the market for a decent laptop and the MacBook fit
the bill. It looked damned sexy, had a ton of horsepower and seemed
pretty durable.
It was indeed a very nice looking and very fast laptop but I was never
actually able to use it on my *lap* for very long -- it ran *extremely*
hot under anything more taxing than idle. The metal area between the
keyboard and the screen would get almost too hot to touch under moderate
loads and the underside was scorching hot as well. My understanding is
that this was a common complaint with this particular model.
I'm sure they've worked out that particular problem since then :).

Yea, few people can sell a McDonalds double cheeseburger with an Apple
logo on it in a pretty box for $75 and call it a steak.
Yes, lots of people think a MacBook is the same as, say, the average
Dell. Their song changes very abruptly when they actually handle one. ;)
