AFAIK, the 2011 MBPs are no longer supported for hardware repairs (although they will run the latest OS). Maybe that's what the parent is referring to?

FWIW, the 15" 2011 MBPs with the i7 quad cores, GPU issues aside, are still pretty fast when compared to the latest Macs using the ultrabook CPUs.

The GGP specifically stated that "Apple discontinued OS support and updates". This is either incorrect, or the GGP has a very different definition of "relatively new" than I do - with 7 year old hardware being supported on Sierra, he'd have to be talking about something 8+ years old...

The explicitly said "Apple discontinued OS support." That's just false, unless the machine in question is over 8 years old, which is not new.
