However at Genius bar there were additional problems which they said suggest possible logic board problems. Probably yeah.

Which Apple don't make. It's bad luck, but not a result of poor engineering or lack of testing by Apple. It was probably dropped by the delivery company en-route to the shop - it happens...

I've used Windoze, Linux and OSX/Mac at home and to be honest I do much prefer the OSX experience. At risk of drawing flames from Linux fanboys it is like using Linux/Unix but with a decent user interface. I've had three computers that I've had to get the repair man out to (and Evesham PC and a Dell PC) and an Asus netbook. In all cases there were hardware faults that caused things to hang, crash etc. So I couldn't really blame Windoze for my Dell's dodgy RAM or my Evesham's dodgy hard drive...or blame Linux for whatever was wrong with my Asus. Sadly like you I did waste a lot of time trying to get the things working before conceding it was a hardware issue.. I hope you're next Apple works and would be interested to hear you thoughts on OSX after using a working Mac. Good luck! By the sound of it you do have a bad Apple by the sounds of it.
