Work MacBook - have to restart it to get USB ports to work, screen flickers when you plug in an external monitor like X windows on an Unix terminal from '99 with a bad conf file... Comeon.

sound like you've got one of the super common duds, apple will probably replace it if you ask them.

They're all software issues. I think all the MBP's in our office do this stuff. For instance, the external monitor and such works fine. It's just it is very un-elegant how it does the switch over.
