How much abuse has your laptop taken?

[BBC B 32k]

My old iBook sits on the living room floor open most of the time. I tickled my daughter so much she fell off the sofa onto - the iBook! Well bent it right back and believe me these things are not designed to go right back. Screen bezel is slightly bowed. Hinge plastic has small crack. Mic only works with screen open at less than 90 deg. Ha Ha My fault so could not shout at her.

I have a few tiny nicks and scratches on my MPB, but nothing major.

My boss is missing some keys, on his MBP. But he makes an ungodly amount of money, and buys multi-thousand dollar things like candy.

Mines in pretty good nick apart from a few minor things and one semi-major thing. I'd take it in for repair but I need it all the time so I don't have time

• Superdrive not working
• Small chip in bottom left corner
• Mild scratching all over
• The gray pads on the bottom are green

Several paint scratches on the bottom. I banged my PB against a table and bent the aluminum around the ethernet port (still functional). Also, there is a small dent around the DVI port. And last but not least, I have accidentally dropped my PB from as much as a meter or so. Twice it was in it's neo sleeve. One of those times was when my shoulder bag ripped and it fell onto the concrete.

This is not counting screen problems and superdrive acting up.

Oh, and I've been stupid and slightly bent my power supply cord round metal thingy. Still works.

My second laptop 2003-2004 survived a hell of a lot. That said it wasn't the best built machine ever and the HDD was badly failing and the battery no longer held a charge. But it survived my 2nd year old college and bit into my first year of uni quite well.

My Powerbook? It's been abroad with me a couple of times but gets wrapped in cotton wool, almost literally

This is the worst any computer of mine has seen. Too bad I don't actually know how it happened (the computer wasn't mine when it got this). It looks worse in the pictures than it really is. (PS, sorry about the iPhone picture)
