Not an outlier.. I have had three hardware problems with my MBP:
1) Hard drive had IO errors and was replaced (2 months)
2) One of my keys stopped working. (9 months)
3) The right fan died. (10 months)
The last company I worked at had a small fleet of MPB's and hardware problems were a regular occurrence. Far more frequent than when I was at an IBM/thinkpad shop, but drastically less than when I worked with Dells.
