Do you think there is a great probability that if I purchase one, it will malfunction?I own a 2010 MBP and yes, I had those issues. I had my logic board replaced twice. I still have graphical glitches every now and then but it's better than when I had kernel panics. Upgrade the RAM and SSD and it's still a great machine that provides smooth operation for most everyday tasks.
The asking price is 500$.How much is the asking price? A six year old computer is not going to be reliable in any case.

Condition is really good, specs are 8GB RAM 500GB HDD, i5. But if the 2010 macs have issues I think I may step down to a 09 17in. What do you think?That could be a decent price...it all depends on the condition of the computer and the specs...what are they?
Hello all, I am in the market for a "new" Macbook Pro for school. I have my eyes set on a 2010 15in anti-glare MBP. Before I purchase it, I was wondering if anyone had the graphics issues that plagued these machines?
It may be old, but reliability of the GPU was what I was scared of most. The graphics dying would be a pain.Your main issue is that you are buying a six year old laptop, none of them are reliable at that age!! it might be fine for two years it may die tomorrow and you'll have wasted your money.
You have no comeback, no warranty and Apple won't work on it any more.
It's your money of course but I'd never reccomend anyone bought any laptop that was that old if reliability was a prerequisite.
