No, sorry, I meant it was so fragile, it no longer exists— I bumped it off my coffee table and the screen shattered (fell 18" to a hardwood floor).

I balked at spending over $700 to replace the screen. It definitely was leaps and bounds more performant than my 2012. I also hated the lack of MagSafe.

I usually baby my computers, but I did accidentally step on my 2012 MacBook Air when I was in college (I had placed it on stairs while doing a photo shoot with some classmates). It was fine.

My 2012 can't receive macOS and Adobe upgrades, but my partner is happily using it for basic browsing and photo editing.

To be fair, that's going to happen with most non-ruggedized laptops.

That's fair. I learnt my lesson and have a shock-absorbing case now.

I see, thanks to clarify.
