If you own a MacBook Pro be careful to look after the keyboard. I currently have the Feb 2011 15" model (2Ghz quad-core i7, unibody).
A friend spilt tea over the keyboard. Luckily it never did any damage to the main internals (unlike my toshiba laptop, if it sees liquid it dies). The bad news is the keyboard is built into the unibody casing so the whole top case needs replacing. Cost? Well the cheapest I found was a company called RepairMyApple who did it for £250 all in (including a courier to and from). Other places were going to charge me £250 for the part and then the hourly rate on top. You can buy them if you want to do it yourself, I've seen it for £215, but on these new 2011 models there's so many tiny connectors all over the place and you need to dismantle the entire internals.
So yes, look after that keyboard!
PS, when running Win 7 in BootCamp these machines fly... COD:Black Ops with maximum settings? no problem for it...
