NVIDIA responds
We spoke to Luciano Alibrandi, NVIDIA's EMEAI director of product PR, and he gave us the following statement on the matter: "On October 9, 2008, Apple announced an extended warranty program for some of its MacBook Pro notebooks. NVIDIA has worked diligently with Apple, as we have done with all of our customers and partners, to analyze notebooks and determine the cause of such problems.
"Our analysis shows that a failure in an Apple MacBook Pro notebook is remote. However, Apple, like other OEMs, decides on their own how to handle their warranty and repair programs, based upon their own quality standards. Regardless, we stand by our products, thus the reason why we set aside such a large reserve, and we have and will continue to work closely with Apple and their customers."
So NVIDIA would have us believe that the problem is very unlikely to arise and if does it will be dealt with efficiently. Only time will tell if this is the case, but we would like to hear from any readers who own a MacBook Pro. Have you experienced and problems with the graphics? Have you had to get it repaired since you bought it? Let us know in the HEXUS.community.
