I've read those stories too

I read those stories too but I am wondering what the actual proportion of users experiencing these problem is. That might actually be far less than what is indicated by the attention the issue is getting in the press. I am saying this because the first x360 hardware issues were also blown out of proportion by people just repeating what they heard making every x360 appear more faulty than it actually was.

Those exploding Dell-laptops, we've been reading about, may also be a bigger story in the news than it actually is.

In any hardware production process there will be a tolerable margin of errors. And my guess is that this Macintosh-issue might just have been blown out of proportion. Despite how big the problem is, Apple has always been very keen on replacing faulty units. So if you feel the need, the itch to get a new Mac, just go for it I say.
