Just recently bought my daughter's Penryn. Works OK so far.

My daughter's new Unibody has lcd flicker problems. She hasn't found anything but other owners complaining. She just called from NZ.

Mine's been good so far - but it's definitely been tricky for Apple to get right, with 2 software updates that made video worse and required new updates to correct.
