> Many MBP models with NVIDIA graphics end up needing yearly motherboard replacements, which Apple is providing through a special replacement program. (My previous MacBook Pro has had this done three times.) I can confirm anecdotally that this occurred with a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010). Despite claims that Apple hardware is reliable and holds its value, I'll never buy one of their personal computers again.

My 2012 15" rMBP has had probably every part of it replaced (display, logic board (twice), I/O board, battery, top case [includes keyboard/trackpad], bottom case). All except the battery was under AppleCare.

    The nearest Apple Store is 4 hours away, so rather I spent weeks without my machine as it was sent to their central repair center.

    Many Apple customers discover an issue with their devices just after the eligibility period for repairs (typically three years) expires.
