Apple has just updated its list of vintage and obsolete products and the 2010 Macbook Pro is on the list. It specifically mentions the
- MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
- MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
The list has nothing to do with operating system upgrades. It just means that Apple would not be providing hardware support.
Apple has two basic classifications – Vintage and Obsolete Products.
Vintage products are those that have not been manufactured for more than 5 and less than 7 years ago.
Apple has discontinued hardware service for vintage products with the following exceptions:
- Mac products purchased in the country of Turkey. Owners of vintage Mac products may obtain service and parts from Apple service providers within the country of Turkey.
- Products purchased in the state of California, United States, as required by statute
Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than 7 years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions.
