Chosen Solution
Well, my late 2011 MBP is on its third (and failing) graphics board. Known flaw, not worth repairing (by swapping in another of the same bad boards). I’ve been burned on the 540c, the Lombard, the Pismo, and this one. I know better than to ever buy a new Apple product. But with many years’ worth of software, I (sigh) expect to buy a refurbished iMac or MBP fairly soon. Help?! Is there any year/model, either iMac or MBP, that’s known NOT to have designed-in failures?
Just my personal opinion, don’t buy another Apple product. Overheating processors, refusing or not being able to fix their own products, preventing the end user from upgrading their system they have bought and own and let’s not forget the way overpriced products. I would diffidently start looking at moving away from them if you can. Windows has a lot of software options. If you must have an Apple product I will say that my Mid 2012 Mac Book Pro is still going strong with an SSD installed. With that said, I will defiantly be moving to a Windows system when it’s time for an upgrade.
