Why is it that the GPU always seems to be the failure point on mac notebooks? I've personally experienced the external gpu on the 2010, 2011, and 2014 models all fail right around the 3 year mark.
- joakleaf 10y ago... I had a GPU issue on the 2007 model :-). Was a known issue so Apple paid for the repair in 2009. So yes, very prevalent.
- emp_zealoth 10y agoNew 15" MBPs run at 100C under load. Similar with older ones. Apple runs those too hot and they die, easy as that.
- superdude 10y agoThe integrated MBP models seem to be a bit more reliable and run cooler. Too bad you can't get a 15" without a discrete GPU anymore.
- boulos 10y agoYou can always force the power settings into keeping the discrete GPU off.
- rasz_pl 10y agoApple doesnt believe in ventilation. Vents are ugly and destroy that iconic Ive look. Every single Apple laptop is cooking inside. Edit: 15" 2016 runs 60 Celsius IDLE, and 99 (heavily throttled) under pure CPU load. Probably same 99 with GPU load.
