I am considering purchasing a mid 2009 Macbook Pro - 13", 2.53 GHz.
However, someone advised me to beware of the NVIDIA graphics card problem they had in 'that time frame'. As I understand, the video would go out or flicker and in general make the machine hard to use.
After much google, it seems that the problem happened during the 2008 time frame - see here and here and here.
I can't seem to find a single case where a 2009 MBP failed due to the graphics card. Since I'm thinking about purchasing, I would like some confirmation that, indeed, 2009 13" Macbook Pros were NOT affected by the NVIDIA graphics problem.
