Between yellowing wrist rests and whining processors, MacBook and MacBook Pro owners have had their fair share of problems. But just when you thought it was safe to flip on that computer again disaster strikes again.
It seems some MacBook and MacBook Pro owners have been experiencing random shutdowns, where the notebook will simply turn itself off with no provocation or warning. There are a number of forum threads on this problem, including a long-running one on the Apple Discussion Boards. The word on the metaphorical street seems to be that the problem stems from a logic board issue. Several users have had them replaced by Apple.
It’s hard to tell, as always, just how many users are being affected by this problem. I’ve had no problem with my MacBook, nor have I heard anything from others I know who own a MacBook or MacBook Pro. Could this be another example of the Internet echo chamber, or does Apple have a serious QA problem here? MacBook/MacBook Pro owners: feel free to add your thoughts.

No random shutdowns. Whining & Mooing, and case warping (need to get it fixed I guess. Should I?)
