is it safe to update to osx lion 10.7.4??

I have MacBook Pro 13" Inch (Late 2011) which is very new -just bought it 1 month ago.

when i bought it, it shipped with osx lion 10.7.2, then after several weeks i updated it to 10.7.3 using software updater and then started running iMessage, it was nice though.

Now, i'm planning to update my macbook pro to Lion 10.7.4, not using software updater but i download it myself through apple support website (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524).

Since i'm aware with just client update, i'm going to download the client combo package which is 1.4 GB in size.

But, i know there's a lot of problems occur within this update. i know it because i read several users that their laptop turned into brick after they updated to 10.7.4.

i'm so confused whether i should update it or not..

anyone please help me solve my problem.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

If you have a mid-2011 iMac, do NOT upgrade. There's a 10 page thread on our internet sharing not working after the upgrade. Many, including me, have been on the phone with Apple Care for days.

If you don't have a mid-2011 iMac, upgrade at your own risk. I, frankly, would wait.
