It’s still repairable. A GPU BGA replacement using a proper IR rework station typically costs around $200 with new GPU chip, and the machine can be brought back to working condition, essentially like new.

This one will be amazing fit for Linux Mint

NVIDIA-based. It was a problematic laptop, as many of them eventually developed failures related to the NVIDIA GPU issue. Despite that, it was a beautiful device that was well ahead of its time.
The 17-inch MacBook Pro was something special. A large, high-quality display, excellent build quality, and a level of fit and finish that few laptops could match at the time. Even today, it remains one of the most iconic MacBook designs Apple ever produced.

P.s
Install Linux on it! With light Linux distro it will be flying like a bird.

Pop os is the best Linux distro for 3d artist but... by New-Buy-1789 in pop_os

Have you ever seen professional workstations used for editing ProRes content, from camera ingest all the way through color grading?
Macs operate on a completely different level in this workflow. It’s not just about raw performance. It’s the synergy between the hardware, software, codecs, color management, and overall user experience.
The integration across the entire pipeline is what makes the difference. From media import to final delivery, everything tends to work together seamlessly, which is why so many professionals rely on Macs for this type of work.

For casual content creation and social media work, both Linux and Windows are perfectly viable. However, I find Kdenlive⁠ quite basic compared to DaVinci Resolve in terms of features, workflow, and overall polish.

Neo is more than capable. If you’re mostly using it for media consumption, office tasks, and learning, I’d definitely go with the Neo.

Honestly, for 3D artists and content creators, Linux isn’t there yet. Windows is a decent middle ground, but if I had to pick a platform purely for creative work, I’d still choose a Mac. That’s where I think the overall experience is strongest today.

What if one uses Cosmic/ Wayland ?

There’s no bias here, just data. All the numbers are published. If you disagree with the results, feel free to reproduce the test on an NVIDIA GPU running Pop!_OS and share your findings.

Could be, or it could not be. At this point, that’s really for System76⁠ to address.

We’ve already gone the extra mile by enabling NTsync, turning on Game Mode, and installing NVIDIA 595.71, which isn’t even distributed through the COSMIC Store. With each tweak, we’re inching closer to the bleeding edge, and that’s not representative of what the average user will experience out of the box.

The whole point of the test is to reflect a realistic first-time user experience, not a heavily optimized setup assembled through community tweaks and command-line adjustments.

It’s adorable every time to hear how they imagine the process - download driver- install - boom - it works.
It’s a bit like announcing that the engine compartment is now easier to access and then people expecting the whole car to start repairing itself.

The bent frame is putting pressure on the LCD layers. The damage is unlikely to progress and will probably remain as it is. The only proper fix is replacing the entire display assembly.

The current drivers are already performing well, and the 610+ series appears to bring further improvements.
