how to protect mbr in student backpack

[nachtfrost]

I have been working as consultant for 13 years, saw 9 countries, always on the road and I don't know how many miles in the air. To have a working computer is essential when you are on the road so I treated my devices always with respect.
I always had backpacks and sometimes the laptop in an extra leather shell or so.
Never had a screen issue, failed hard drive or whatever. If you carry in a backpack you should be fine.

It kind of looks like the corner was was stuck in something - so sounds like she might have done something that didn't occur to her would cause damage.

Ah yes, getting something stuck between the keyboard and the display is the surest way to damage it. Glad to hear that you could get it solved so easily. Hope that your daughter is not stressing out too much about this — it happens to the best.

Glad she is a student, she needs to learn to use her brain. Now, do you need to come to a forum to figure something so basic out?

I have been using powerbooks since 1994, for concerts, electronic music, live shows. Went touring for more than 15 years with at least 5 mac book pros and guess what... NEVER had an issue. When they broke was the motherboards and it was Apple's fault. The same with smartphones, people break them, I had an iPhone 5 for several years until Apple vandalized it.

Take care of your equipment. If she does not use her bran and "Daddy" is always pampering her, she will break the next one as well.

This is your bran on durgs.

Seems to be a little heavy-handed on the criticism here... she's got the laptop in a sleeve and then in a backpack... stuff happens... but way to pile on.

Put the laptop between two books, thick books. So hard to figure out?

So when the backpack hits the floor, that expensive Mac is sandwiched between two 3kg bricks of "Applied Engineering" and "Gender Studies to the Max" and breaks in two?

That and my backpack has a dedicated slot for a laptop while everything else is in a separate compartment. I don't put anything in my backpack that can press against my laptop (like lots of textbooks, etc...). Recommend carrying heavy textbooks outside if possible, or carry the laptop in hand if textbooks need to be carried in backpack. These macbooks don't like pressure on them - their thinness results in the keyboard being pressed against the screen.

When I travel out of town I use this back pack EverKi Atlas. Guaranteed for Life of the product. very good quality like Waterfield but much better in price. I use the Water Field SFBags.com sleeve.
