i have an early penryn MBP and after the release of the new ones i ooked on these forums and found out that recently apple has said that some Macbook Pros are affected by a faulty GPU.
My MBP has this faulty GPU and the extended warranty is not good enough for me, it has no symptoms at the minute but when i bought this laptop i was expecting to be using it for around 5 years.
i cannot afford either applecare or a new MBP in 2 years, it took me a very long time to save up to get this one.
what can i do, i want to go into the apple store near me and basically get a macbook for it (not the new ones) plus the extra cash that i had to pay for this.
i would pay extra to upgrade it to the new MBP one but i have heard that GPU is pretty similar to the one in mine and i really dot trust Nvidia any more so im not keen on that one either.
Im in the UK by the way so if anyone has any past experience please let me know.
