I am not impressed with Macbooks networking, or specifically the wireless on the Intel Macs. I've gone through three and ended up with such severe wifi issues, that I inevitably ended up switching to a wired dongle for anything serious/in need of stability.

Never really had a more fickle laptop as far as wireless goes. Only a VAIO VPCZ1 after ten years of abuse as a gaming machine/daily driver started to get close. Again though, that's after 10 years. A Macbook will manifest that behavior within the first year for me.

The frustration has gotten me to the point I'm reading up on USB/PCI-E/datasheets implementation/protocol details so I can actually try figuring out WTF could be the cause.
