    I'd like to see what would have happened if this was a Toughbook

    LOL... I've seen this nugget before elsewhere. It's a hoax; the laptop is an old POS PPC MacBook he bought just to make the video. Doesn't make him any less of a 'tard for Breakdancing tho.

    I remember some guy who liked to whip old laptops against the wall... ;)

    I do laptop repairs for a living and have seen worst happen to some laptops.
    I do have to say that Apple laptops are not as bad as you might think as compared to some Sony's, Toshiba, Dell's Etc...
    Im sure a toughbook would have survived something like this... iv seen toughbooks come back with cracks in the case, parts broken off and even some that were run over by trucks and they still worked fine despite their apparences...
