my MacBook Pro is only 2 years old. Took it to an authorised service centre and guess what, it needs a new logic board. How can something that costs over €1000 need a replacement part costing over €600 within 2 years. Would of been better off buying a cheap laptop and replacing for an up to date model every year.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry to hear about that, but this is the MacBook Air forum. You should post here to discuss the MacBook Pro: https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/macbook-pro.90/
Your experience is very different from mine however. My 2008 MacBook Pro is still fine, although I don't use it anymore. The PowerBook G4 that I bought in 2003 just died last year. Currently using a 2013 MacBook Air and have had no problems. I go all the way back to the Apple ][ in 1978 and never had a computer die within two years.

Sorry I meant Mac Book Air. I have looked on my ther forums and this appears to be a common problem
Hmm... My 2012 MBP is still going strong. I'm expecting at least 4 years of use out of my 2015 MBA.
