Oh, it's definitely not.

I heard that there were enough problems that they recalled (some of) them.
This is from a friend of mine who has a Mac.  I have yet to confirm this.

We could also talk about a little known machine from Apple, called the
Apple III.  Apple (tried to) come out with it several years ago.  From what
I heard, 50% of the units failed in-house testing, and of those that made
it out, 50% of those failed.  I guess that's one reason why you don't see
many of them.

They also had problems with the hard drives on early PC AT's, which was
documented in several magazines.

Now, the test will be to see:
  1) How fast the problem rate goes down to an acceptable level
  2) How they deal with the problems
