There seems to be a lot of horror stories out there. It might be wise to wait until a later revision and see if they get manage to fix the problems.

Users report MacBooks and MacBook Pros randomly shutting down...

Complaints from angry MacBook and MacBook Pro users about their computers "randomly" shutting down seem to have suddenly started flowing in by the somewhat freakish masses over the last several weeks on websites and discussion boards across the Internet, although the causes seem like they could be attributed to many different factors.

Unfortunately, there seem to be thousands of anecdotal accounts across the Internet at large about this issue, but the overall problem that everyone is experiencing is that their MacBooks and MacBook Pros are all just completely powering off during regular use without the battery having run down—most users seem to be reporting that this problem happens to them regardless of whether the computer is plugged in or not.

According to one of the longest self-contained discussions about this issue online on Apple's own support discussion board, most people's problems are being attributed by Apple to a faulty logic board. Yes, those two ominous words that strike fear into our hearts: logic (*gasp*) board. Many of us remember the horrors that were incurred with Apple's iBook logic board issues some years ago and would never want to live through such dismal times ever again. Many users have apparently either called up AppleCare or taken their MacBooks/MacBook Pros into an Apple Store to have it examined, only to have it die right there in front of the Genius or while on the phone. There have been some reports of receiving a replacement machine immediately on the spot while others have had theirs "sent in" for logic board repairs.

Alas, it is always easy to pass off issues such as this by claiming that the problems are being experienced by a "very vocal minority." However, making such claims tends to be a lot easier said than done when you are not one of those suffering. Yes, dear readers, even your humble Infinite Loop writer has had a random MacBook Pro shutdown at least once (often more than once) every single day for at least two weeks."
