I love it. I carry my MBP to work in it because I bike commute, even in winter. I call it my "James Bond" briefcase. It has survived a few wipe-outs on the ice along Chicago's lakefront... their advertising states that it's "tough enough to drive a truck over", and I believe it. It's made out of some pretty heavy-duty aircraft-grade aluminum. Worth every penny.

This really isn't all that remarkable anymore.

The main logic boards are getting smaller and smaller, so they're inherently more likely to survive even if the larger, and relatively more fragile, screen and DVD are broken.

I'm sure there are people who die in car accidents whose pacemakers are still goin' strong.

What? Why didn't his Macdar go off? =P

i've said this before but I fell off my GSXR750 at 100 kph with my macbook pro 17" in a targus rucksac on my back, slid 20 meters down the road and the only damage was a slight scratch to the top of the lid and an almost imperceptible dent at the very top.

Of course, I hurt a little bit more! Macs are hard core.

wow... there needs to be some kind of foster care for neglected/abused computers.

Dang...

Yeah, small dog is real cool, its a mini apple store and has actual small dogs running through the store! Its a great (and only) alternitive to an apple store in Vermont.

Man, I would like to make enough money to leave that expensive of a machine on the top of my truck and forget about it as I drove away. :P

At least it shows how tough these things can be or how anything can survive an ordeal like this given the right angles and circumstances.
