How durable is your macbook?

i know they are great little machines, i love mine to pieces although it has been back to apple a few times. but luckily i have the care protection plan which i suggest getting if you take yours on journeys like i do. i have broken some of the casing off mine because i had it in a shoulder bag and i was cycling and the bag was too low and it got smashed by the tire so when it was convinet i stopped and took it out opened it up and it was fine apart from the broken plastic made me chuckle if any thing that it has survived being smashed against that. i also never switch mine off and it is fine i love it to bits

 

The outer case has taken some cosmetic damage (cracks, hairline scratches, etc...), but my MacBook has held up well otherwise. I once set my MacBook down on the couch and went to leave the room. When I was in the kitchen, I heard a thud and found my MacBook on the floor. It ran fine afterwards.

 

well, after sliding of my binder and gashing one corner and then falling out of an unzipped laptop bag onto concrete and gashing the other, and besides common macbook cracks, my macbook works flawlessly - I love it!

 

Not to criticize anything, but it is mostly about luck if your notebook (not just MacBooks) survives a fall or not. Slightly different angle next time, and there goes your screen or something else. No one is brave enough to try a scientific procedure of repeatingly dropping thier notebook, right?

 

More durable then the MBP eh?
Idddkkk.

Haha. Though the MBP's are heavier.

 

I have some hairline scratches on the exterior, but I do have a chipped "a" key. I don't know how it happened, but it has an indent and some cracks in it. Still works well, though, and it's not uncomfortable to use

 

To be honest I dont think apple have done a good job with the white macbooks, not sure about the black macbooks as I've never had one.

I have never come across a laptop that cracks when closed, discolors (at least thats been fixed), cracks due to heat, spacebar hits screen when closed, magsafe meltdowns etc etc etc, laughable really but thats apple for you.

At least they have admitted their design faults and will even replace the parts when out of warranty. I'm happy with my macbook, but not sure if first time mac users would be.
