Given the number of years we’ve known about the AMD GPU fault and the workaround to use, exclusively, the same integrated Intel graphics GPU as what appears on the 13-inch models, I’ll be willing to pick up one of those and run the hack to just bypass the faulty AMD GPU.
The thing is that 15" and especially 17" 2011s still command a high price in my part of the world. I wouldn't say no to a free one, but I'm not quite ready to pay several hundred bucks.
