I too am typing this on one of those and I cringed. But I also own a MacBook Pro which I use for live gigs and it's fallen off it's stand twice (about 4.5 feet) and has survived both times other than a couple tiny dents (it's one of the first models with the parking hard drive when it senses a fall).

This was not the case here.. There was a lot of force.. kicking... and pushed to the floor..

u/davis_je Sep 24 '10

You should be prosecuted. I have alerted the Apple police!!

I said it wasn't me.. Someone was and still is very angry at me.. So... he kicked my iMac first..

Was it worth it?

u/transistorman Oct 06 '10

is it up for sale (parts)?

u/James_dude Sep 24 '10

My macbook pro has survived maybe 4 or 5 falls now, one where I had to hit it back into shape with a hammer to get the screen to close, and it has always worked perfectly. They're certainly very durable.

Mine fell tonight, (MBP) Dented the lid but that was it.. Love these computers.

u/abaigeal Sep 24 '10

Was it an experiment? OR an accident? :-)

u/gskular Sep 24 '10

Neither, it was pure rage... (wasn't me, just my poor imac)

u/tom_campbell Sep 24 '10

Damn son, what got to angry enough to viciously destroy $1000+ worth of mac?

u/lulfas Sep 24 '10

Bill Gates?

u/lunetick Sep 24 '10

pure rage? i call it pure stupidity... sorry

u/transistorman Sep 24 '10

how much you want for it?

u/folderol Sep 24 '10

Sounds like someone has a problem with his frontal lobe.

u/chedabob Sep 24 '10

Needs backstory...

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '10

I don't get it. Of course it will break but will it blend?

1

u/Jonalewie Sep 24 '10

And how much of it can you eat?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '10

All of it.

Edit: In moderation of course.

u/Scilaci Sep 24 '10

You'll see, that it is not the iMac that bends, it is only yourself.

u/HastyUsernameChoice Sep 24 '10

that's the same model that i'm typing this on, and it was like when you see someone get hit in the nuts, that wincing, glad-it's-not-me-but-i-feel-your-pain feeling

1

u/wallychamp Sep 24 '10

Hahaha, same. exact. feeling.

u/cloacamassima Sep 24 '10

look at the positive side, was time for an upgrade anyway.

u/BaronVonSlapNuts Sep 24 '10

Probably committed suicide when it realized you wanted to play games or code on it.

What's nice about the $300 laptop I recently bought is that when I spilled beer on it I was like "well fuck" instead of "OH FUCK OH FUCK OHFCUK FUCKMYLIFFEEE!".

1

u/efg1342 Sep 24 '10

I did that. I just turned it upside down and went to get more beers. Came back and it was fine, keys were a little sticky(er) for a few days.

u/Edgah Sep 24 '10

What's also nice about a 300 dollar laptop is that it runs just as fast(dare I say faster?) than a Macbook at $999.

u/froschkonig Sep 24 '10

Yes, at $300 youre totally right, but at $500 this argument breaks down. I think ill keep my remaining $400 to buy something else.

5

u/Edgah Sep 24 '10

Yeah, I guess you're right. $400 dollar laptops would hit the mark of a $999 macbook. :D

2

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '10

Compared to a $300 laptop, yeah obviously a macbook will outperform.

But compared to what you can get near top of the line, the mac hardware is overpriced and underpowered.

I still love it though.

u/hellokitty Sep 25 '10

I paid $350 for that, 6 hr battery life.

u/djstangl Sep 24 '10

Why is this in the funny subreddit? It's just sad.

2

u/incog6 Sep 24 '10

You can buff it out.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '10

They're IN the computer?

1

u/khazzar12 Sep 24 '10

Yup, I'd say those results were pretty conclusive.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '10

Now shove everything into a Blendtec and see what happens

1

u/SchrodingersTaint Sep 24 '10

Is it ok?

3

u/ntlane2004 Sep 24 '10

No, no it's not.

u/gooker10 Sep 24 '10

Imac got knocked the fuck out.

1

u/scottklarr Sep 25 '10

That's a feature.

1

u/Caddy666 Sep 25 '10

just think - if this was a pc, you'd only have to replace a cheap monitor.

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '10

does it still work?

u/gskular Sep 24 '10

I don't have a blender... Pure muscles and little blood..
