How much for this fix?

[tomi03]

It drives me crazy, how much does it cost to fix it?

 

[Audit13]

Personally, I would not bother fixing it. There isn't much that can be done to fix the dent. Cheapest solution would be to attach a hard shell. Adding a shell is what I have done to my Air and Pro.

How much does it cost in an Apple store? I mean the replacement of the entire piece

 

[Lobwedgephil]

Take it to Apple and ask, don't think they will fix that though.

 

[Audit13]

It definitely won't be a cheap fix a they would change the whole assembly.

You gotta ask apple directly for the price.

To get an idea, the part of the case where the keyboard and battery has been reported to cost around $800 to replace.

If your part includes the display screen, then I would imagine it will cost more.

Then after you replace it all, it might get dinged again. Aluminum is soft.

No way to fix it other than to replace the shell. not cheap, def not worth.

How much are you willing to spend, 400, 500, 600? Its probably going to be in the higher end of that ballpark, if not more. As everyone mentioned, its just a nick, its not a huge deal. Life happens ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just slap a dbrand wrap on it

I'll reckon somewhere between $400 and $800...
Is that worth it to you...?

Put a skin or some stickers on it. Stickers prove you are a serious Mac user!

Yes, thank you

For how much can I sell it?

A corner picture of a laptop ... and we're supposed to be able to answer the question: "For how much can I sell it?"

Really?

 

[DeltaMac]

2 minutes with a jeweler's file would make that virtually invisible...
Still want to sell?

[DeltaMac]

I expect that @BigMcGuire was asking about other pictures showing the condition of other areas -- not just more pictures of the same corner.
Still - 2 minutes with some careful detail work would make that minor dent disappear to anyone that doesn't know it's there (and you would likely forget which corner has that superficial flaw)

LOL. Wow! The absurdity.

It does not really cost much. You just buy a chisel and scrape that dented part and voila the dent will be gone.

now THAT is sad

While I wouldn’t repair or sell a laptop with a similar scuff, it would irk me every time I looked at it. I suspect I have mild OCD, though. If it bothers the OP, passing judgement on them seems unkind.
