Not an outlier.. I have had three hardware problems with my MBP:

1) Hard drive had IO errors and was replaced (2 months)

2) One of my keys stopped working. (9 months)

3) The right fan died. (10 months)

The last company I worked at had a small fleet of MPB's and hardware problems were a regular occurrence. Far more frequent than when I was at an IBM/thinkpad shop, but drastically less than when I worked with Dells.

Data is not the plural of anecdote.

Anecdotes are still data.

You have 2 verified MBP users with a total of 4 problematic MBPs. That's raw data right there.

Do not confuse data with statistics.
