it is time to test the toughness of the MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display we went looking for a location with a lot of different options and we landed here at American soil in stone where we're going to scratch drop and dunk our poor little macbook let's get to it now one thing I actually consider a weakness of the MacBook Pro is its aluminum body it's already a little scuffed up just from sitting on the rock earlier so we decided to take the scratch test concept and kick it up a notch all right just come on in within there now we're gonna shake it up that was awesome so I'm betting that it's a little bit scratched up certainly dusty yeah we have some scratching we have a lot of dirt I gotta say this is not nearly as bad as I thought it was gonna be turns out a little bit tougher than I thought at least in the scratch Department oh I'll be careful I don't want to smush him well so now the thing about our MacBook Pro is that it's really dirty so I think it's time for it to get a little shower while it's open oh that's terrible that's just awful it's like you're on a photo shoot and like a rogue wave comes and it just gets splashed not for much longer than that though let's rescue here all right our screen definitely turned off I just wanted to watch the dirt off all right let's see I mean it's off so I think what we're gonna do here I did the worst thing imaginable which was press the power button OOP oh oh it restarted the thing that usually goes first is the trackpad that seems to be the case here oh no the trackpad is on I'm logged in I think it's turning out to be a lot tougher than I thought it's totally functioning after its little shower to keep going so arguably right now we still have a perfectly functional MacBook Pro and I am as surprised as you but it's time for the drop test all right three two one walk in oh I guess it doesn't skid at all sounded really Doyle we have dented I definitely have one good dent right here let's see if I can't get it just a little bit three two one okay we have some scratching a couple more dense nothing too serious but I think we should find out how our Retina display can handle a drop if it's you know open three two one oh the hinge feels a little tight but the screen is okay really see much more dense the hinge is just a little bit of got a little bit of a hiccup but you know that's no big deal alright other than our little scratches and it kind of looks like a bear got it but other than that it's Supes fine now most the time we try to keep these tests within the realm of possibility it's time to veer from that just a tiny bit although I think this could happen our buddy Big John here is gonna pick up this pallet of bricks with his forklift and then accidentally set it on top of this one come on in there we go oh I'm not really I heard some really terrible noises come out of that just now cuz I think the forklift also got the computer okay let's take it away I changed my mind I don't want those bricks after all god I'm almost afraid to look I am not seeing any obvious signs of damage right off the bat the screen is not damaged any more than it was the case is not damaged any more than it was I mean granted it was only like a palliative half full of bricks or whatever considering that even that couldn't do it pink we gotta go Boulder okay Big John I need a boulder help me out actually this is not okay let's just let that sit for me oh dear oh dear Oh God well now that can't be good oh I'm gonna rock that okay go get it oh my god this isn't like her - it is odd you don't know Oh God here we've definitely messed up the pallet alright let's see I have some decent dentists here for sure that was not nice okay you can definitely see denting the screen does not lay flush like it used to at all let's see if the screen still attack though oh oh the hands doesn't want to open at all oh we have cracked the retina display so you have a little bit of spider web pattern here this is kind of where the impact zone was but I gotta say nowhere near the shattering that I might expect if this thing still comes on after drying out I'm gonna call that usable stuff so we're back in the office and we've had our MacBook Pro and a bag of rice for 24 hours a lot of rice it's been laying flat so we're gonna take it out see if it comes on shake out some of the race just to give it the best chance of survival plug it in let's see I'm just gonna keep holding this power button cuz I'm keeping hope alive I don't have any green light on my power cord and I don't have any activity on the screen I don't know if it was the water or the boulder but I'm sorry to say I think our MacBook Pro is dead oh wait just when we thought it was dead it came back on not like on on but I just needed a little while on the juice to get a little bit of battery life back in it it's not okay the screen is definitely in a lot of trouble so now you saw us do a lot of bad things to this MacBook Pro and honestly I bet you could replace this display and you would have a functioning laptop this guy is unquestionably construction-grade you
