No backups for 93 days....this is exactly why you back the hard drive, folks! You got lucky, OP.

Dunno, I'd say "magnificently". I tend to hate on Apple, but this is rather impressive.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the manufacturing, if this is legit, they just left it in a really lucky place.

No the Nokia one wouldn't have melted at all, might have even put the fire out.

DONT USE IT!! They bin all electrical items after a house fire. Carbon builds up in the electrics and can cause another fire.

I've heard there's some stuff firemen do thag doesn't need to be done. Just curious to see some science behind this.

Not to mention that the lithium battery could be compromised, and those things burn quick.

Send a picture to apple, maybe they'll send you a new one.

Yeah maybe Apple will give something away for free, and maybe gravity will stop existing at any moment in time

They just put it in a museum i think. Replaced the internals but left the shell and screen i think.

They'll be like the nearest Apple bar is just x amount of miles away with a new models you can purchase-Apple probably

Why would OP want a new one. They already have the only thing apple did right.

Post it on twitter and tag them. A couple grand for that good of a "review" is cheap.

screen's messed up though. It's not really useful anymore except that you can get your data off it with less fuss.

Say what you will but my MacBook Air has lasted longer and stood up to more abuse than any other computer I've had, desktops included.

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 2

Same with me and my Pro! All 3 of my roomies had to replace their 2-3 year old laptops this year. I've had mine for 4 and it's runs great.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Same with mine. My roommate has gone through two laptops in 3 years & the only upgrade i've made to my mac is RAM. Price was worth it IMO.

It helps when the case is in aluminum and not some cheap plastic

I've got a 2009 Macbook Pro. Upgraded to 8GB of RAM about a year ago. This thing runs better than most Windows PCs I use daily 1/?

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

and has stood up to more abuse than I care to tell, including 3 trips to the other side of the world. It's been more stable than any 2/?

My work PC has one and I love it. I may do it soon, but as of now it only gets shut off once a month so I'm not worried about boot speed.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's not just about boot speed, literally everything flies. Three bounces to open Safari/Firefox? Nope, motherfucking instantaneous.

What I meant was that as of now I'm not annoyed by the 5400 RPM and I don't feel it's worth the effort to do at the moment.
