The first to drop the new rMP?

from the pictures, it looks like the rMB held up well (minimal damage), considering it was dropped against concrete pavement

Indeed. Sad that it's all banged up. But it's a testament to its sturdiness.

Wow. I'm sorry for your loss. I'd be going crazy if that happened to me, considering I would have no way to replace it without buying a new one.

A DURABLE laptop would not have needed repairs, let alone repairs of this level. They are replacing nearly all the parts of this machine after a fall from... 1 meter? While still less than a new unit, it is not an insignificant repair.

I'd be careful in praising its durability... one drop and the thing is darn near a total loss (cost-wise, depending on the model). EDIT: It's a 1.3. So not nearly the loss I thought it was... but if this was a base model, it would have been

Anyway, happy to hear there will be a happy ending for the OP.

very good point. The damage looks minimal, but they are replacing casing, screen, and keyboard. That is far from minimal.
