The problem appears to be with the early 2011 models of the MacBook Pro rather than all models since. It also seems to have developed after a couple of years of heavy use and the complaints are from those that want free repairs after the Warranty period.Originally Posted by thegent
I doubt very much that car manufacturers would replace engines after heavy use and outside the Warranty period.
Since you are not buying a secondhand 2011 version then I don't see the relevance in adding the problem to the list of reasons for not purchasing an Apple. I don't even see it as a good reason for squirming out of buying one.
Come clean and admit you have come to your senses after reading comments from TD members.
Incidentally, I am more than a little dyslexic and find the colour change by Wasp most helpful when reading his posts.
