So far I haven't had any problems with mine, but I'm not putting it through heavy lifting. I have done the double yes > null thing a few times to see if it would shut down but so far everything's A-OK. I'm still on my original MacBook which I believe is a week 23 unit.

I ordered mine the day they were released had some early problems (logic board and discolor) but since Apple repaired them I have had no problems and no re-currences and I use mine A LOT (hours and hours everyday for work, school and fun).
I am very happy with mine.

I still need to get mine fixed for the discoloring problem, but other than that it's been absolutely spectacular. No sudden shutdown, no logic board problems, no heat issues, etc.

I'm happy with mine, I wish it had the quieter keyboard, so I'm taking it in for that. But other than that, I love this thing.

I'm happy, I don't really have the moo problem (though it has done that once) and the its as white as the day I bought it. I only had one shutdown and I've been unable to duplicate that problem. I'm keeping a closer eye on it though.
In general I'm dismayed to see this model have so many problems (heat, mooing, noisey, discoloration, random shutdown, poor application of thermal paste, etc) but my specific MB is performing exactly as I hoped it would be.

Week 29 White Superdrive model here, fairly heavy use and no sign at all of any issues. Even upgraded the hard drive to a 160GB model myself. Had some issues after the hard drive upgrade, but zapping the pram fixed that. Not holding my breath anymore!

Looking good here! Just returned to a Mac as my everyday machine after 6 years or so with Windows XP and Linux.

I'm happy with my blackbook. It needs more RAM, but other than that I've not had one issue with it (week 29).

day 2 and I'm happy with it so far. It's faster than I thought it would be. I got the top of the line black one.

I've had mine for a few months. I use it everyday, mainly for school stuff and haven't had a single problem. It's been working great so I'm happy

I've had mine since around July. I've been pretty happy with mine. It isn't quite as fast as I'd hoped it would be, but that's just my personal opinion.

How much RAM do you have installed. That can make it seem not so fast.

Well on Day 3 and loving it so far. I just need to get used to the Keyboard. I keep hitting the caps lock key when I want to hit the "A" key.

I've installed 2GB and a 120GB hard drive. It still isn't quite as snappy as hoped it would be. It really makes me appreciate my Mac Pro more.

Very happy. Not a single issue since I bought it a few weeks after they were released. I use it about 4-6 hours a day.
Mostly for:
Video editing
Photoshop
and research on the internet and writing papers.
