Now she warns others against doing the same
« So I have pretty much basically destroyed the screen by putting it in the seating pocket – don’t do it, » she explained in her video.
« I would never have ever thought it could happen, but now that I think about it, it makes sense – people put pressure on the seat as they move back and forth, so of course it can crack it. But it just never happened to me before – so don’t do it. »
The commentary track was filled with reactions, which is why it was also clear to see that there was a big difference between people’s views on the matter.
« That’s why should be forbidden to sit back, » wrote one user, while another pointed out the necessity of security measures: « That is why laptops should be stored in the luggage shelf during start, landing and turbulence. »
One person acknowledged that they had taken the risk themselves: « OMG, I always put my laptop there, » To which Sabrina replied, « Then it was worth it that I made the video! Don’t do it again. »
Several suggested she should take it into an Apple store, while others recommended that she should get AppleCare, which ‘provides technical support and additional hardware service from Apple’.
However, it is not something that is changing that she is now in a situation where she has to have her computer repaired – and therefore it is difficult to get around that it has been an expensive flight for her.
