Hi,

I bought Apple macbook air M1 for appx 60000 an year ago.
It is superfast but screen got damaged in 6 months.
I paid 30000 to get the screen replaced with a new original apple screen.
After 3 months again the screen got damaged, now I connected it to a monitor and using as I dont want to spend 30000 again.

Any suggestion to get screen replacement for less price?

Thanks

Why does it keep getting damaged? And why didn’t you just purchase AppleCare+?

I am using iphone from many years and never faced any issue.

I read reviews online and this mac has very good reviews. I never even thought about screen sensitivity before buying.
There was a very good offer running on HDFC CC (10000 discount) + additional discount from Croma store and bought it.
The salesperson there told me to take AppleCare but Applecare was 10000+ Rs. so I didnt want to spend more money as I never thought that screen is so cracking-prone.

I am using mac very carefully but one day I just touched in the middle of screen(believe me touch is very normal) and cracking started from side and expanded to whole screen.
I literally cried to spend 34000 rupees(original apple screen) to replace the screen for the first time.
From that time, I am much more careful. I never touched the screen. But in just 3 months, screen got cracked again.
Now I am not ready to spend another 34000 on this.

I am from Hyderabad and cost is minimum 28000 plus in the local shops I tried.

Now I cant use this mac without monitor nor I can sell.

If any one can tell me if in other city(mumbai,pune) as I travel to these places frequently if I can get screen repair for less price, i will go there and get it done. Then I will sell this for wht ever price I get and buy a DELL laptop which is more than enough for my use.

Thanks

Apple rocked you shocked....😂

In my suggestion grab any windows laptop at 60k and enjoy durability for minimum 5 years
 
Whatever you have told, I don't think the screen will crack on its own.
My friend has a M1 MacBook Air with a dent near hinge. I think macbooks have better build quality from most of the Notebooks offered in the market.
Maybe you used it carefully but someone else might have damaged it in your absence.

So you spent 90k on an M1 macbook and did not bother to get AppleCare+ in the first place? coolcoolcool

I got it for 60k (HDFC 10k discount) + additional discount from Croma.
I bought Dell laptop for 33k earlier. .That is the highest amount I spent on laptop earlier and still working.
I bought iphone 11 when iphone 14 got released. so that I get for a less price ... Just wanted to know that I am a very much budget guy.

I got tempted at macbook offer and now paying for it.

I have the same machine running fine since 4 years! Macbook display will break if you have anything stuck between hinges and keyboard ; even thick screen protector or protective cases can cause it.
Keep hinges clean and use a backpack / laptop handbag and you are all set.

Buy the latest if you effort otherwise plan for the alternative best, not the worst

I used it very carefully.
Atleast after getting screen replaced for first time, I was taking care of it like a baby.
(34000/- repair for a 60000/- laptop will definitely make you be extra careful of it).

Even then it got cracked in 3 months.

I am not using any screen protector or protective case. somehow it did cracked.
Can any one suggest me any place in Hyd/Mumbai/Pune where I can get screen replaced for less price.
 
Some people have the habit of lifting laptops by grabbing the screen. I have seen many friends damage their macbook screens by doing this. But to answer Ops question, there is no cheaper way to deal with Apple hardware. Maybe try ordering from Chinese websites?

No offense, but false advertising 🙂
Only good windows laptop will last that long, keyboard and hinge problems are common industry wide. HP is the worst.

I have a few older systems, all working fine.
Dell Latitude i5 from 2013. Replaceable battery changed. 256 GB HDD swapped with 512 GB SSD. 2 GB RAM swapped with 4 GB. Win 7 swapped with Win 10. Total replacement cost was about 7K. Also use Chrome OS Flex and Ubuntu from USB boot. Using with eternal KB+mouse but original KB/Trackpad, fan & display working fine.
HP Envy 15 i7 from 2017. Win 10, 512 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM. Battery is now down to 30 min but otherwise working great. Using with eternal KB+mouse but original KB/Trackpad, fan & display working fine.
HP Aero AMD R7 from 2021. Win 10 1 TB SSD 16 GB RAM. Working perfectly. Using with external mouse.
HP Chromebook 11A MTK from 2022 July. Working great. Now this is my go to system while traveling. Using with external bluetooth mouse.
