Apple extends GPU "Quality" program to December

MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues - Apple Support

If you have a 2011 MacBook Pro (15"/17") or 2012/2013 Retina (15"), there's a chance the GPU will fail and render the laptop unusable. Apple can run a test, and if it fails, free logic board replacement. As well, while not a 100% guarantee, they give the laptop a once-over and if they see anything failing that they'll be removing as part of the labor, they tend to fix that too.

This was scheduled to end next week but they extended it out to December.

I've run several work machines through this program, it's very nice to get these laptops running again. Many came back with new batteries, bottom covers, top covers, magsafe boards, etc. All free.

This is for dedicated GPU's, which your Air won't have.

and I bet they will extended once more for another 6 months. After that they will hit vintage status and apple will stop providing service for the,.

Might be a good time to troll eBay for "not working" Macbook Pros of that vintage. Hmm...
