This is official and on the Apple Support Page, the MacBook Pro should only work 2 years from the date of purchase, even if sold with defective components.
$1999 for the “entry-level” laptop, sold with defective chips (nVidia’s GPU: GeForce 8600M GT), known as defective by nVidia, and now by Apple, and wtf the reaction? Just to said that it’s the consumer that will pay after the first 2 years for that!
Real nice
The old MacBook Pro equipped with nVidia’s GeForce 8600M GT have some problems to resist it’s own heat, some laptops finishing with a black screen ou fuzzy lines after 3D games play, needin’ motherboard replacement. Apple extended their GPU warranty to 3 years, not solving the problem at all.
MacBook Pro w/ GeForce 9600M GT
The new MacBook Pro comes with a nVidia’s GeForce 9600M GT that seems to be overheaten (again), ending with black screens. Hopefully the laptop seems to be alive after a reset.
But the main reason to choose a MacBook Pro over a MacBook is the integrated GeForce 9600M GT 3D GPU able to give 3X to 5X more game speed, or to enable real CUDA computations.
What will Apple do this time?
