The machine that came back had the power supply changed, and I dont mean the plug bit or the cable, but the whole system... The one that we are monitoring doesn't like turning on half the time and it sparkle on me just last week when I was testing it.
For the record, I am finding the force touchpad really strange and I keep pressing the 'button' when I don't want it to... And the start up time on my new mac is unbelivably slow, like more than 20secs (so first world problem!) And I am not seeing any increase on preformance compares to the half fucked unit I returned... That said... the blank screen (touch wood) hasn't happened again yet...
Still I am still very tempted with the new Macbook... I really shouldn't...

Yeah I have heard about that issue. I hear it's linked to bad thermal paste application, not something you want on a 2k plus machine. I hear it's all down to the AMD gpu which runs at over 100 degrees.
Maybe all these 1st gen machines are worth avoiding, sigh, I really did want a new toy, my current rMBP and acd setup sometimes troubles me due to the amount of clutter.
