Has anyone quietly beat up a demo model?

Apple does not have the you break it you bought it policy, they toss it in the back and pull out a new one....

I plan to push really hard and bend the HP Slate and the Android Tablet when they're out, but i would kick anyone who damaged an iPad display's ass

 

[Soulcrux]

Thanks

Oh! So just because they are lenient with the usage of their demo products, it makes it okay to be careless with them? That's called abusing privileges, and often accounts for the removal of said privileges.

I have been to Egypt road a camel during dessert shield/storm I'd have to have big balls...... You ever been??

This still beats I'm considering returning my pad thread.... and some other lame ones

I asked you to tell the truth did you do it or not, I did not do it to intentionally break it, but to see how rugged it is and how much I need to baby it. I wish I the same thing before I bought my 17' MBP. If I pick the beast up with one hand on the corner it creeks and flexes.

ah yes the: put-two-Joes-in-a-sealed-padded-room-with-two-bowling-balls scenario.

in one hour one bowling ball will be broken in two and the other will simply be completely missing

I find fault in the fact that you're using the phrase "beat up a demo model" instead of one like "stress tested a demo model."

 

[Maaz]

I hope the next person that sees your ipad thinks its a demo unit

 

[sniffies]

Why in the hell to people have to make personal attacks and criticize people here over their grammar or spelling? We are all different.

Because its very embarassing to not know how to spell rightly and to constract grammatic and correct sentances. I hate peoples which dont know how to speak with correct english.

Never buy the Demo Model!!!

This is exactly why I tell people never buy used or display models of any electronic devices. You just dont know.

Growing up we did some bad things um rental cars. I remember grinding gears and starters with my buddies we would rent a car for the weekends while away in military school. Just wanted to see what it would take to find em and grind em. You really dont want to know.

Anyway not to get off topic but I strongly suggest never buy demo/used electronics or rental cars LOL.

Bizarre thread!!

Cant say trying to break an iPad or anything else in any shop is a wise idea!

Imagine this is a windup or a school kid!!

TBH, I did try to test the durability by exerting a bit more than usual finger pressure and tried to scratch the screen with my fingernail. Nothing excessive though. Just a simple wear and tear durability test. All I can say is that the iPad is built with quality. The screen was flawless and I felt more confident about purchasing an iPad. Left the store a happy iPad owner.

You tried to scratch it? I didn't put that as a pole choice.

 

[barkomatic]

I think its reasonable to test the durability of the iPad under the slightly strenuous conditions that it could experience with real use. I don't think throwing it on the ground and stomping on it is appropriate but lightly flexing it, rapping on the glass fairly hard, etc.

This device is meant to be out in the world, not under museum glass. You guys don't think apple doesn't do stress testing?

 

[master-ceo]

"I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind", after all "It's a demo".

 

[Sleazy E]

Trying to damage a demo unit is a scumbag move.

No. I've handled normally as though it were my own. It's called being mature.

Exactly.

Too many people today have an entitlement issues IMO.

 

[megatronbomb]

I like to whack cute Apple employees with the iPad. Then, whichever is less beat up, I take home. Sadly, I keep going home with the iPad.

 

[Mintin8]

you guys in here are getting trolled mega hard.

obvious troll is obvious.

 

[leomac08]

When I test drive cars I always hit stuff with them.

+1, the first thing i do is hit 0-60MPH....


BUT I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION WILL THE IPAD BLEND????????

 

[gibbz]

I didn't put that in the pole.

But did you put it in the poll?

 

[mayassa]

The pole like the one in your

Off to the apple store If you'd like to meet me I'll be more than glad to help you out with that pole.

You, Jessica, just made my day! Hahaha
