While that is really cool that it survived a 1000ft fall, it did hit brush and had a protective case that helped it. The macbook pro that got shot, ok, I'll admit that is pretty cool, but still. Apple tech has some flaws, hold it wrong. and your service disappears, not to mention my macbook gets insanley hot even with good airflow. I am biased against apple, just because they over price their hardware alot (see
Here ), and lock everything down. But, i still love my macbook, because i haven't managed to kill it yet.
But to not start a anything vs. mac war, here's some nice survival stories i found for some tech.
This LG phone went through the wash:

For a story of my own, I used my first phone as a baseball, and hit it over a house, and it still worked. It was a old Motorola V323. It got really warm after that, but it still worked just fine, there was a little crack where i hit it with the bat, but for a $20 phone, it still works to this day. My current phone has been in multiple snow banks as-well, and still works. Thankfully, none have gone through the laundry, only my jump drives.
