A Reddit user ran over their brand-new M5 MacBook Pro after leaving it on top of their car, and the laptop survived with just minor scratches. The machine was inside a cheap sleeve when it got hit, but the owner found it after searching for half an hour with tire marks on the case. Despite initially thinking MacBooks were delicate, they were shocked that the device still worked perfectly.
Most laptops would have been destroyed in a similar accident, but Apple's unibody aluminum construction held up. Some commenters tried explaining it away with physics about force distribution, yet nobody would actually test that theory with their own gear. MacBooks have even stopped bullets before, with one saving someone's life during a shooting, so the build quality clearly makes a real difference when it comes to durability.
