Here’s the Story: Apparently, YouTube user THISisCaSpEr bought all three models of the WiFi iPad at a Best Buy at Pittsburgh today. And he decided that smashing the $500 iPad with a baseball bat was “fun”.
Though pointless, the video reveals that the aluminum backing is fairly thin, which made it easier to dent and bent with a considerable amount of force. And also, as shown in the video, the downside to a bigger glass screen (Or whatever that was) is that it will be more prone to screen cracking. The iPad was dropped screen first on the concrete pavement and the result…
So yeah… Don’t drop your iPad or get some sort of protection for it.
Awww… look at all the sad fanboys
((
Hahaha
I bet that sting didn’t it fanboys?
Hey for those of you saying its wasteful think, do YOU really NEED it other than to get YOUR apple fix?
Not nearly as bad as the billions in resources hemmoraged by corporations, and government…….
So did he look at the parts if it Made in China
It seems that these guys have nothing to do with their pathetic lives. I’m focusing on the jerk who bought and destroyed the Ipad with his own hands. Dude, your father works to get you some money and you waste it so well. In that case, your father is the biggest jerk for letting you buy it in the frist place.
The only good thing about this video that it shows how much the ipad isn’t worth buying because of its lack of solidity. Although it’s true, I think it’s more solid than its compititors, the netbooks. Howerver those machines will always outsmart the Ipad because of their OSes which are absent in the Ipad.
I’m the farthest thing from a Mac fanboi but I was cringing at the destruction of that iPad. I don’t see the purpose of destroying a perfectly good piece of hardware just to do it and/ or for fame. I hope they got their 500 dollars worth of enjoyment out of it.
During the vid it seems that they were kinda surprised in a way that the thing broke or was in that bad of condition. I mean, it’s not a Panny Toughbook for crying out loud, it’s a thin piece of aluminum and glass with a PCB inside. Of course it’s going to break into a million pieces, even without the bat.
What mindless destruction.
It’s fine if people think the iPad is stupid or sucks or is an “epic fail” or whatever. But why do such a mindless act?
Shameful.
I thought that was pretty funny and i am not a young kid neither, i want an ipad as i love my iPod touch but if this wifi thing is a big f***c up i will be giving it a wide birth, Pitty they didn’t show us the guts of the ipad and it’s dodgy antena.
I LOL’d at “Hey! Don’t curb stomp it!” Awesome.
Yeah, they did it for attention and apparently they are getting it. Still, it’s the wrong way to get attention. They aren’t making people feel better or helping anyone or anything. Kinda like a kid throwing a tantrum for attention. They could have filmed themselves paying everyone’s tab at a restaurant for the same money and it would have been just as viral.
UR so messed up people die for these things and you go and smash it? if u didnt want it you could have given it to someone!n00bs
