My 2011 MPB 15” suffered from the Nvidia GPU issue. It was so bad my computer wouldn’t boot properly and the Apple Geniuses kept denying the claim because it couldn’t finish a test.
Anyway, it was still my longest lived Laptop. My Sony VAIOs were great but I liked that Mac better.
- ja27 5y agoBy 2011 it was AMD(ATI) not Nvidia. I had one that failed but Apple did the replacement for free.

It's why they are hated by other vendors and AMD/Intel worked hard to keep them from creating x86 cpus.
