Guys I’m so sad I’ve only had my macbook for 2 months and I’ve been taking a lot of care of it but it already has a dent somehow, no idea how it even got there. I’ve legit used the headphone jack 2 times and it looks so bad now since it’s a little caved in.

At least it isn’t that noticeable. If you constantly live with your MacBook on eggshells then what’s the point of even having a laptop? It’s bound to get dented or scratched up if you use it like a true laptop just from diff counter surfaces etc. I’ve seen so many people who do things like lay down desk mats in public, wear gloves while typing, and obsessively clean their computers…seems like so much work and for what? 🤣

As long as you aren’t chucking it around then it’s fine. If you’re worried about dents then a sleeve or hard shell case can help; but sometimes hardballs hard shells can hurt the MacBook too (I’ve gotten fine dust/debris stuck between the case & it scratched tf out of my laptop casing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Disassemble the whole chassis, buy industrial grade aluminium and an industrial furnace.

First create a mould after fixing the dent by putting some putty where the dent is and sanding it out.

Later use the furnace to melt the industrial grade aluminium and put it in the mould.

Take out the fresh new chassis and anodize it in even blacker black, later put everything together and enjoy your fixed better than new laptop. :)

If you want to go further in modification get industrial grade titanium, might even go further for radioactive substances so it powers itself but that can get slightly expensive.

It's a sign that you used it. Show your scratches and dings with pride.

The day I bought my MacBook Pro in 2015, because it’s so slim and it bevels so sharp, not to the touch, but to the Apple Bag it was in, it in sliced through the bag, fell perhaps 4-5 feet, & left a tiny, but noticeable ding on the Mac.. zero damage to the MacBook other than that since then, and it’s taking its share of falls. Excellent build quality, and hopefully that is still the case as I love to upgrade either this year or early next.

Just get Airpod mate and cover up that hole with something

[–] Schnitzhole@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How does this have any upvotes? It’s a laptop. Use it and don’t worry about some dent you almost need a magnifying glass to see
