during a delivery once, i caught a curb, flipped upside down on a bicycle, landed laptop down, bent the frame of my 2014 macbook pro, and the screen survived undamaged. still using the same laptop today, no issue. anecdotal evidence… is anecdotal.

Hah, I did also the same thing, except I was cycling home in the rain. Just got to my house and clipped the curb. Landed on my back, and all I had in my flimsy backpack was my 2015 MBP. The base had a large dent in it - but when I opened the lid, it just prompted me for my password. Had that machine for years afterwards.

I’ve caught a tram track (Melbourne) which caused me to go sideways. Only later did I notice that the corner of my MacBook Air … probably c. 2010? … was noticeably bent. Didn’t affect anything at all.

I did the exact same thing with the same MacBook Air in Adelaide trying to catch the last train home after work.

That was about a decade ago thought.

More recently I saw this:

The law firm Bursor and Fisher filed a class action lawsuit against Apple this week over unusually common screen cracks on M1 MacBooks, reports 9to5Mac. The firm is accusing Apple of knowingly selling laptops with fragile displays that tend to crack under normal use in some cases and then refusing to repair them without charge. Bursor and Fisher is now seeking compensation for all expenses associated with repairs.
