Hello fellow piners,
I just did an accidental drop test on my pinebook pro, I was sitting on my attic with my laptop placed on the arm of a lazy chair (next to the entry hole of the attic).
When i stood up I bumped the laptop and it fell down from the chair trough the staircase hole down my attic on to the floor below.
I rushed downstairs and was shocked how I could be so stupid to place it on the arm of a chair next to the hole of the attic.
I opened the case and saw a bit of the case was snapped off on one side below the usb port, and a plastic strip on the bottom of the hinge part of the screen was loose.
I glued the plastic parts back together as best I could with some superglue and baking soda, after that I closed the lid and saw the laptop was a bit warped.
But besides the small amount of battle scars the laptop is still working fine, you can hardly see it was damaged.
I think the way the pinebook is designed makes for a very strong laptop. I am super impressed because the pinebook survived my stupidity
.
The fall was about 3 meters high.
I hope you guys wont do an accidental drop test but if you do I think the pinebook will stand a good chance of surviving.
