Why show off MagSafe by dropping the MacBook Pro on the floor >_<

yeah, i did think that was kinda retarded.

 

[AJ Muni]

LOL what an idiot dropping the mbp like that.. I have had my pb since last august...and i've made sure its NEVER had any movement like that at all

 

[TBi]

Coming from the Windows side of things I am always used to a latch that actually holds the laptop closed. Not on this one, Apple has used a magnetic enclosure to keep the unit from opening. One would think it wouldnt actually keep the screen closed but I can tell you it has a tight grip that takes some effort to open.

Didn't he think of using the little button on the front which releases the clips and opens the screen? This is why i hate buying second hand, some idiot like this would crack it open and then let it fall on the ground.

I worry some times. Is this guy right in the head?

Sacrilege! How dare he drop a new MBP like that!

Or is he trying to demonstrate that the magsafe connector hasn't stopped him from damaging a lappy with the power cord?

 

[neiltony]

Ceo

Oh man, that video just looks retarded. This guy could be the CEO of the National retard association!! LOL

Ya he is a bit of a <insert insult here>. The whole point of the mag safe connector is that the laptop isn't pulled off the desk if (or when in the reviewers case...) you trip over the wire. If he wants to break his laptop all the power to him. I just hope apple don't honour the warranty after seeing that any damage is more than likely user inflicted.

 

[matperk]

God--I'm using my MBP now and it seriously hurts to watch that.

 

[atari1356]

Good thing nothing happened to the power cord! Magsafe works!

 

[i4k20c]

im pretty sure if my pb fell like that, it'd get dented..lol

and haha, he just pulled up the screen? Can you even do that? wow.. lol

 

[mmmcheese]

It's bad enough that he dropped it the way he did, but it didn't even land on the carpeted floor. If you listen you can hear it hit something. My guess is that it hit the leg of the chair and didn't fall straight onto the floor, which would be even worse for it. I wonder if he dented it...I expect it'll break and then he'll complain about Apple's build quality.

 

[the Helix]

dudes...!

He did that on purpose to get a rise out of us!

 

[TBi]

He did that on purpose to get a rise out of us!

What person in their right mind would risk a 2000 dollar piece of equipment to get a rise out of people they don't even know on a forum? Probably the same type of person who'd do something so idiotic as dropping a macbook in the first place

 

[JasonDawg18]

Lol!!!

I know it's horrible, but I laughed SO hard at that video. Who would be stupid enough to drop it? LOL...

 

[berkleeboy210]

im pretty sure if my pb fell like that, it'd get dented..lol

and haha, he just pulled up the screen? Can you even do that? wow.. lol

I tripped over my powercord once and the powerbook fell right off the bed on to a hardwood floor. got quite a few dents in the thing. hopefully i won't have to worry about that w/ my new MBP

 

[sintaxi]

I watched that video like 25 times. I was perplexed. I guess Apple need to develop a chord that prvents brain damage so that people wont drop their Notebooks

 

[EricNau]

I would definitely trust his review...

 

[Glenn Wolsey]

How can you drop a MacBook Pro like that

 

[Heb1228]

Ok, I can't stop laughing at this guy either... Why not set the laptop down and pull the plug out?!?! There IS a better way!

And I think in his review he said "the first thing you'll notice" about 7 times or something. Somebody tell him there can only be one first thing that you notice!

One of the next things you will notice is the stylistic keyboard. How the heck can a keyboard be stylistic you ask? Well when you are dealing with Apple you always are amazed. The first thing you will notice is the beautiful backlit display enabling night time use; Where else can you find a backlit keyboard?

How the heck can the keyboard backlighting be the "first thing you notice" unless you open it up in the dark?!

 

[cwedl]

hehe, I don't think he knows what the magsafe feature was designed for!

Or maybe they should put a warning on it.

Right now, I can say I am really rolling on the floor with laughter...

 

[pawnstar]

the magsafe did it's job of protecting the cable while allowing the expensive laptop to fall

the guy is a retard -

One would think it would not actually keep the screen closed but I can tell you it has a tight grip that takes some effort to open.

or you could just push the button - how do you even think to open without pushing the button, doofus

 

[macrants]

At first, I thought this had to be a joke, alá the Mac Mini review. I now believe this person is a complete simpleton that should not be entrusted with a MacBook.
