Reddit user No_Criticism_7596 shared a set of photos,His MacBook Pro flew about 13 feet (about 3.9 meters) from the backpack and then rolled down 25 steps. It only suffered minor scratches and bumps after landing.
The user described what happened: After class, he hurriedly threw his backpack over his shoulder to get something. Because he forgot to zip the zipper, the MacBook Pro flew directly out of the backpack. It flew forward about 4 meters and then hit the edge of the steps. Then it rolled all the way to the bottom along the remaining steps.
The device was encased in a soft protective case, which was damaged upon first impact with the steps.
I bought this MacBook Pro less than three weeks ago and cost about $2,000.The user said that when he saw the protective cover was damaged, he was "psychologically prepared to face a completely scrapped laptop."
Judging from the photos, there is only a small amount of paint peeling and corner wear on the fuselage, and there is no obvious damage to the screen and the main structure of the fuselage.
However, the user mentioned that the impact caused the screen to shift about 1 mm to the left relative to the base, but the screen itself was intact.He still plans to have his Apple+ repaired, as the scratches and slightly crooked case are too much for him to ignore.
However, just because the outside is intact does not mean that the inside is intact. Many users pointed out that there are no moving parts on the MacBook Pro logic board except the fan, but the copper heat pipe may bend or even be damaged under severe impact, affecting the heat dissipation performance. Currently, the user has not announced the actual status of the device after it is turned on.
Apple MacBook Pro uses a one-piece aluminum alloy body process, which is cut from a whole piece of aluminum. Its structural strength is significantly higher than that of plastic or mixed material solutions.
