Picture This
You board an airplane and put your notebook in the overhead compartment. Then, you promptly fall asleep before take-off. In the meantime, someone places their hard-sided suitcase right on top of your notebook. If the LCD is not equipped to resist excessive shock or force, your notebook - and ultimately your career - may end up cracking under the pressure of a long flight.
A drop, a crunch or a bang can result in a cracked or broken LCD. On top of the time and cost of repair, you'll also be unable to make that big presentation to your prospective customers.
According to the TBR Damage Survey, the leading causes of notebook damage are drops and spills.¹
