Poll: Have you ever accidentally had your Laptop get pulled off a table by tripping over the power cable?
As of this writing, nearly 40 percent say “yes.”
I guess the MacBook’s new magnetic quick-release cord is a good idea, then. Who knew there were so many klutzes in the world?
Happened to me, too. But I blame the manufacturer, of course.
Yes, as a matter of fact, my Mac doesn’t close (and therefore I don’t often use one of its best features, the sleep function that goes on when you shut the lid). When I tripped over my power cable the whole thing came down. I could probably get it fixed, but since so much of my life is on the computer, I could never let it go long enough. Looking forward to the quick release, because I am a total klutz.
No, that hasn’t happened to me. I’ve dropped it, though.
Even without dropping it, laptops seem inherently more breakable. I’m fed up with ‘em.
