After that I assume that they won't be supported due to age, regardless. With respect to the GPU problems, Apple is extending their repair program through the end of December 2016. If I were you - shopping for a classic MBP - I'd also look for the anti-glare "high resolution" screen option because while it's not Retina-resolution it's better than the standard 1400x900 on the glossy MBPs. on that point, specifically, feel free to weigh in because my searches on that - which led me to find this discussion - haven't turned up any information as to how "inevitable" the issue may be.) Some say it was the lead-free soldering, others found that the factory had put way too much thermal paste on the MBPs in production, still others thought that a flaw in the graphics cards were to blame.įirst-generation MacBook Pro Retina (2012) was impacted too, as were some 2013 models, but as far as I can tell looking at Apple's support document the impacted models didn't include 2012 non-Retina MBPs. (As to how common the problem actually is as a percentage of the 2011 MBPs I haven't been able to determine - if anyone has more info. Some ~40,000 people signed a petition asking Apple to repair the fault because it was so widespread.


I happen to be shopping for a MacBook Pro on the secondhand market and for what it's worth I've ruled out the 2011s because Apple had a class-action lawsuit filed in 2014 as a result of so many GPU failures for which the only solution was to replace the logic board (and many people ended up with more than one board replacement).
