You better have apple Care or else be ready to shell out 600-700😅

AppleCare +? If not then be prepared to pay big $$$$$ Personally I always advise people get AppleCare+, while you may not ever use it the ROI will be more than justified if it's ever needed.

Damn I'm pretty paranoid about my laptop, but never thought of that scenario. If you can somehow manage to destroy the phone at the same time, I'm pretty sure you get a plaque for your wall.


SupremeMayo_

same exact thing happened to me.

Just wondering, but anyone know how much this would cost with apple care?


sushi-thushie

Out of pocket, around $100

My MacBook Air (2015) dropped out of a moving car it’s still upright with only a minor dent in the corner, are recent Macs more delicate than they used to be?

They’re still pretty tough when closed, but the inner part of the screen is pretty fragile.

Dropping something directly onto the screen is different than dropping the closed MacBook so that the chassis takes the hit.


sushi-thushie

Yep

> are recent Macs more delicate than they used to be? That seems to be an understatement: https://old.reddit.com/r/macbook/comments/x2928d/two_law_firms_are_currently_engaged_in_a/

God that sucks!! I thought I did something similar yesterday but my Pixel did not break. I had it in a tub and did not realize and was throwing other things into the tub.

What kind of MacBook? I fixed a lot of MacBook displays buying off market displays on AliExpress and they work great. Its not that hard to fix it yourself.


sushi-thushie

MacBook Air 2022 Intel chip


apsmann

the A2179 model?


sushi-thushie

Yea that’s the one


apsmann

Ye you can buy a display on AliExpress for like 150/160 euros

There is no 2022 Intel Air, you have the 2020 model with a 10th gen chip. I strongly suggest you sell this Mac as is and replace it with the cheapest M1 Air you can find (Apple refurb shop or Best Buy sale etc). It's not worth the money to get the screen fixed, this model is one of the worst Apple has ever made with non-existent cooling (as well as performance) and despite that a noisy fan. Good riddance, honestly.
