Yea, that's ugly. I'm sure it could've been done more gracefully with 15 minutes more effort. But judging from the general wear and tear on this poor Mac I guess they don't even consider the resale value.
- windowsrookie 5mo agoSeriously, I have several mac laptops dating back to 2004 and they all have less wear than that.
- bee_rider 5mo agoI think he is not worried about the resale value. > This was on my work computer. I expect to similarly modify future work computers, and I would be happy to help you modify yours if you need a little encouragement. I don’t understand the actual decision but I appreciate the gusto with which it was made.
- hk1337 5mo agoThe main reason to consider resale value is 1-2 years later you may want to upgrade and selling it to another person typically yields you more money than trading it in with Apple. Doing something like this may decrease how much you could sell it for later. If you’re not planning on doing that then it’s not really a factor for you.

- kibwen 5mo agoI can't even imagine prioritizing resale value here over one's own comfort. The purpose of a tool is to be used, not to serve as an asset class.
- abujazar 5mo agoSure, but comfort != abuse :D Apart from the filing, I can't think of ways to make such a recent Mac look like this. Did it suffer a plane crash? Acid attack? Thermite fire? I appreciate the customization, but would probably make an effort to make it not look like (another) accident.
