The amount of hardware issues with the new MBP are kinda staggering....

USB-C issues, GPU issues, image corruption, now this.

Has there been as contentious a Mac release as there has been with the new MBPs?

I've been using Macs since the mid 80s, and I'm trying to think of some, but am drawing a blank.

The only possibilities I can think of are the two processor switches (680x0 -> PPC followed by PPC -> Intel) or maybe the first release of OSX (but that's not necesarily hardware related).

Last generation of iBook G3 went through graphics chipsets at an astounding rate. Most of my friends who bought one got all the way through the 3 strikes and you get a replacement machine with them. All of them got a free iBook G4 for their trouble.

At one point, the iBook G3 had a 73% failure rate...
