Yep. In the past 6 months we've had 3 machines die beyond an inexpensive repair. 2 MacBooks and one Mac Mini. All right around the 3.5 year mark, so Apple "Care" is no longer good.
My daily driver is an Acer Aspire One 722 (11" netbook) running Xubuntu now. Total cost: $325. My company is supposed to be giving me an Ultrabook by the end of the year, so I'm not about to pay $1k+ for the thrill of owning another future doorstop.
