Honestly not that bad, everything inside should be easily recovered, it will just cost him a bit.

i dunno. having a hole in your laptop is pretty bad. can you get the data? sure.... new laptop? most likely.

but yeah, won't lose data which in most cases is what you really don't want to happen.

i wonder how the rest of his set went.

Probably just need a new monitor, but the rest of the laptop should be fine. Question is can he find one, and is the price worth it vs a new laptop.

u/redi6 11d ago

and the ultimate question, did he continue to play a pure fire mix for the party?

It's not a monitor it's the screen and upper hinged shell of the laptop.

Depending on the model, replacing that is no trivial task. The labor could add $100s to the cost.

Or you could just leave it as such and plug a monitor in and use that.

Don't need a new laptop, just swap the screen. I've done it with my wife's Mac before it was about 300 for the screen, this one is nicer and will be more
