    Ive got a macbook pro, 13 months old, the 'a' key on the keyboard doesnt work anymore, disc drive wont take discs anymore, scroll wheel on the mouse doesnt work.

    Money well spent. Getting ready to order a Dell XPS. I miss PCs, never thought I would say that.

      That +1 is to Formed. And I wouldn't equate Dell with Saturn (nor Apple with Porsche for that matter).– afabrega3/5

      Theyre right Akrok... Apple is more Ferrari if compared to Dell– akoni5/5

    It's all your fault!! ;-) I had a PowerBook for 7 years never had a problem (and now my brother in law uses it), bought a G5 in 2004 and still works wonderfully, my other macs are just as good. Learn how to use/treat them and they will last forever.

    BTW. I still have a PowerBook 5300c that still works. OS 8, baby!!

    I've had a powerbook for 5 years and it still hums along. Did you get applecare? You would spend less money getting it fixed (none) than getting a pc.

    Some solutions to your problems:
    1. Problem: 'A' key is stuck
    1. Solution: You're using your left hand for COTD. I have the same problem. Using the right will avoid this problem. Wash your hands and stay at least a couple feet back from the keyboard. Sometimes it dries up and shit gets stuck.

    2. Problem: Disc Drive won't accept discs anymore.
    2. Solution: Take current disc out. Then try putting another one in.

    3. Problem: Scroll wheel mouse doesn't work anymore.
    3. Solution: See solution 1.

    I've made warranty claims after the warranty period and they have fixed it, worth a try... (these things all broke just after the 12 month warranty ended?)

    sorry to hear about your problems.

    can i suggest some canned air to blow your keyboard and drive out to fix the stuck key and disc drive problem and then find a better mouse. this solution would be cheaper than buying a new computer and this way you still get to still work in OSX but can still have windows running on it. I wouldn't go out and buy a PC just for the reasons you mentioned. try what some of us are suggesting before doing anything drastic.
