That statistic is wrong, dude. 90% of all people know that :P

I've owned both (I have a 12" Powerbook, and a 14" Acer) and I've fixed/owned tons of computers. Apples use the same hardware and have reliability on par with Sony (their expensive ones, cheap Sonys are crap), Toshiba (except the P4 A-60 garbage series), Lenovo/IBM (fantastic quality), HP (their business series laptops are great, and not that much more expensive). I've run into many problems with Apple hardware (overheating, dying motherboards, video chipsets, etc...)

Buy a Mac for the great OS and intergation, not because you think that premium is getting you better hardware...cause it's not.
