That is processing Apple We have known about the very good quality of our products for many years. But this time, a story has emerged that takes this reputation to a completely different level. A Ukrainian soldier posted pictures and a video of his MacBooku Air The M1 that stopped a fragment from an artillery shell. And yet it still works.
According to available information, this is a soldier from the Azov brigade, who was moving in an area where flying fragments from artillery strikes are unfortunately not uncommon. One of them stopped just before his MacBook Air. The result? Visibly damaged chassis, destroyed display, but the computer itself continues to turn on and macOS runs without any major problems.
In another post, the soldier even shared a video showing that the system is working, applications are launching, and the laptop itself is still operational. The display is understandably severely damaged and it is hard to imagine using it without an external monitor, but given the circumstances, it is an incredible result.
Similar stories have appeared before. In 2022, photos of an iPhone that allegedly stopped a bullet and saved a Ukrainian soldier from serious injury circulated online.
