Reasons Why Apple Should Resolve The Macbook Pro 2011 Issue

UPDATE: Our voices were heard. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Since 2013, reports of Macbook Pro 2011 models experiencing system crashes and hardware problems, due to AMD graphics card failure, have continued to surface. Consumers like me have spent thousands of our money, expecting optimum performance, yet we are met with disappointment. It's time for Apple to hold accountability. #mbp2011

1. Because 11,663 people have replied on THIS THREAD Apple Support Communities regarding this issue.

But the people we need to hear from the most - APPLE - hasn't.

2. Because 36,724 people have signed THIS PETITION asking Apple to Replace or Fix All 2011 Macbook Pro with Graphics Failure

Still no response.

3. Because there is currently a Class-action lawsuit against Apple for this issue.

Sadly, this lawsuit only covers residents of California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Puerto Rico, and Vermont.

But hold on...

4. Even Canadians - the nicest, most polite people in the world - are filing their own lawsuit.

But... but what about the rest of the world? (HINT: I'm from the UK).

5. Because there is a website dedicated to this whole issue.

6. And a Facebook Page

7. Did I mention a Reddit thread?

You know it's a big deal if it has it's own Reddit page.

8. Because I do not want to pay £500+ for something that was not my fault.

I'm pretty sure other people in my situation feel the same way.

9. The "repair" that they have is just as ineffective.

“I was forced to shell out $322 for the logic board replacement, despite 2 letters to Apple’s Tim Cook, but none at Cupertino bothered to reply either time. The new logic board I bought has exactly the same GPU so I expect it to fail too.”

10. Because they have the ability to recall and replace.

iMacs sold between May 2011 and October 2012 were affected with the similar issue - faulty video processing cards and Graphics Processing Units (GPU).

It's your move Apple.
