This video is fake. There's no gravity in mac world

[JakesTechBox]

it is because the 13 inch has a smaller screen but the same spring and hinge

I have the 15 inch and my friend has the 13 so thats how i know

[zakarylakota]

i still like the first gen better

[adrianownsyourass]

you're a fucking idiot if you hold your mac like that while the hdd is spinning. whats the point to this....

[MrFigmentofi]

I have a 13" macbook Pro and the screen doesn't fall. But my dad has a 15" (the same size used in the video) and it did fall. I don't get that. Then again why would it even matter in the first place?

who wud use the macbook with its body perpendicular to the ground? spider-man?

[indyhb]

Classic. That's exactly the type of stuff you hear from the PC weenies.

Can someone help me? When I open up my macbook pro (new model) there's the tiniest bit of flop when I change where the screen is going to go. like it will vibrate for a second. Is that normal?

hahahah, nice funny joke, kohe e humbur

[Frutoses]

Oh, the hinges can't support the screen weight and he calls it a feature: "It closes itself" roflmfao

Mine doesn't fall... but mine's the 2010 one.

I love my early 2008 15.4" MBP! I got in Japan in May 2008 and it works just as good now as it did when I used it for the first time!
