    Gotta love how they run over a $1500 dollar laptop with a car of the same value.

    I think it is because that video is basically warranty fraud. I know they have locked a few threads with that video.

    Sometimes, they just need to straight out refuse obvious frauds like that. It's obvious someone intentionally destroyed it, this is no where near "accidental". So they accidentally tripped and threw it 10 feet into the air? Accidentally placed it on the road and backed up their own car onto it? Cool story.

    I like how the second time they go to run it over the kid forgets to put it in drive. Stupid kids that shouldn't have drivers licenses or expensive gaming laptops.

    Wow I just don't know what to say. Some people in this world are working hard to get a few $ per day, while others just throw away 1500$ just like that.

    Resilient little bugger. But meh, I'm not going to get mad at them breaking their own laptop. If they want to break it then that's their choice, their money. All I have to say is if you're going to make a video of you breaking your G73 then go all the way. Take a hammer to it, light it on fire, put some minor explosives in it, take a shotgun and/or machine gun and go to town, throw it off a cliff, get a crew of guys with really blunt objects, etc. This was rather tame for a destruction video which is why it sucked donkey.
