[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1697139, member: 24098"] Interesting - I had not read of the video issues with the 2011 model until now. My previous, a 2008 model 15" MBP with NVIDIA GPU had a similar issue and a similar warranty extension. For what it's worth, I purchased my 2011 15" MBP within weeks of it being announced. It's been a real trooper the entire time I've had it (and it's used at a minimum, 8 hours per day, every day). It doesn't struggle with anything I've thrown at it -- and its modern successor models pretty much suck, so I intend to keep it until the proverbial wheels fall off... I would think that if I were going to have GPU trouble, it would have likely happened already. Fingers crossed! [/QUOTE]
