They did the same with the 2011 MBP fiasco. Ministry of truth at work.

I have a 2011 here still going strong. Looking like new after all of the free replacements, LOL. I guess that GPU either fried over and over by now or came from a lucky batch.

Mine collected dust for almost 2 years until they announced the repair program. It came too late. I ended up giving it to a junior dev which used it for another year before dying again.

I think we replaced the battery for free or cheap and the screen was in the lamination program, the GPU is the same one as day one. Isn't it weird that it just never happens to some people and other people keep getting their GPU's fried??

Mine is still getting used but the gpu is dying even after a replaced logic board. Still absolutely love the matte screen though.
