My seven year old Dell desktop hasn't frozen in months. But, it is a desktop.
I never push the power button other than starting the computer up from when it was completely shut down. I just use Command+Option+Esc to force quit when even the mouse cannot click the apple button.
Not only do I baby this thing but it is only a few months old anyway.
Screen's defective, spacebar's also not in good shape. I'm taking it to the Apple store shortly.
Sounds like you got a lemon. I liked my first Powerbook so much, when it was time to move on......I got a second one. Been using Mac's for over 5 years now. I will never go back to Windows w/out a fight.
