I think i dropped my macbook pro

im scared. i was working in the bed. then i woke up, and it was upside down on the floor.

its about a two and a half foot drop.

no dents, no scratches. nothing.

but still that was scary!

 

did you close the lid? the macbook pro is build pretty solid and the hard disk should be fine if it was turned off. It could have been a lot worse with an open lid.

 

Ive dropped my sony 30+ times... it still works.

 

OK. You didn't drop it. It fell.

Just make sure you have good carpets around your bed to ensure a soft landing.

or think about adding mini-parachutes

 

yeah no kidding. i have freaking wood floors.

the hard drive was definitely off. the lid was probably opened, but i don't know how it landed...

 

I have done that sort of thing before, but not with a laptop, that is a dangerous situation for any electronic device, sleepy humans and expensive electronics do not mix.

 

at least you didn't roll out of bed too! head laptop crushing injury

 

Ouch...good thing its okay.

The MagSafe's saved me twice from dropping my MacBook .

 

oh yeah ive had several cord yanks. thanks magsafe!

im really suprised that i can't even find a scratch / blemish / dent / ding

after a drop onto a hard wood floor...

that is apple quality, i guess.

 

silly gravity...it should know better than to get in your way

 

Drop it again at the same height and confirm the Apple Quality.

 

Is that a challenge?

My cousin dropped her Toshiba two feet from the ground; the screen cracked and it won't turn on again.

 

oh CRAP.

if there is visible damage they won't help you (apple wont, toshiba might cover damage)...

yikes. im very lucky.

 

MagSafe is a great benefit. I know someone who has a MacBook and I would've pulled it off the desk many times if it weren't for MagSafe. I'll walk by and then come back and notice it's unplugged. Definitley a big selling point.

 

Well, the MagSafe can be useful but...

In your particular case, wouldn't it be better to pay just a bit more attention to where you're stepping?

 

What a nightmare! >.<

 

lol bah I got a dell 8100 and I droped that sucker from at least 4 feet on to concrete, dang cd drive, floppy drive, battery, and some back covers flew all over the place and I had to reseat my ram but thing still works just fine not that I would EVEY want to do that to any new laptop...

also my MBP will never be somewhere I can drop it I hope. hell who am I kidding, I hope it survives as good as your does cause I will drop it, and knowing me within 2 days of getting it delivered.

 

LOL, yeah you're right. Is a cord supposed to be strung across a walk area though?
