[QUOTE="Farmer Pug, post: 1641209, member: 174844"] Hello I had some problems with my old macbook, it was continually doing kernel panics, and fits all the symptoms of the GPU being faulty which is a known fault. So i bought myself a new iMac 21.5" 1Tb fusion drive, 16gb ram, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M, its a very nice bit of kit and the bigger screen is a welcome bonus. The time machine backup worked exceptionally well, i plugged in the external hard drive, waited about 1hr 30mins and the iMac is just like the old MBP files and folders are in the same place. The only issue is the old Macbook, its still a good laptop, it was never dropped, scraped or abused and in the in-between periods when its not randomly restarting it still works fine, the battery even lasts for a reasonable amount of time. Does anyone know how much it costs to get the GPU issue fixed at apple, i dont live near an apple store so i dont want the long drive just to hear it cant be fixed. [/QUOTE]
