I've had a couple of hand-me-down Macs, and I was not impressed with either of them. One was a laptop, and the AC adapter had no flex-protector, so the wire broke off and it would have cost over $50 to replace it. That kinda soured me on Macs. I thought putting the power on-off switch on the keyboard, without labeling it, was kinda goofy. Makes one's first moment of Mac experience a non-intuitive challenge of having to phone somebody and say "How do you turn this thing on?"
