    Last I checked Apple does $700 for a screen repair, if you’re not under Apple Care and can’t join in the first 30 days/90 days?, then it’s nearly half the price of the laptop to repair.

    If you don’t have apple care, be prepared to roll more dice so you can make more money to afford the repair.

    It doesn’t look damaged to me, see if Apple will fix it under warranty and keep the hookers and blackjack to yourself.

      Clarification: this is a great idea. Don’t tell them it got hit by dice… say it just happened and it may fall under warranty. In all honesty, dice shouldn’t cause this to happen anyways.

    Hard to see but I don’t see a point of impact.

    As a former genius, I would cover that. That line doesn’t travel to a point of impact. Just don’t mention anything about the dice lol. Just say you opened your laptop and saw the line on the screen.

    Source: previous Mac genius and sent computers to depot where these type of screens would get covered.

    You said this is less than 30 days old? Go to the Apple Store and tell them it appeared after a bit of use. No damage. Try to get the warranty to apply.

    they’ll charge the half price of a laptop so give it to a poor (like me) and buy another one instead of repair

    I just had this same issue on my MacBook m2 (dog bit the edge of the screen) $550 after everything. Make sure to backup your data because Apple will wipe it on a screen replacement.

    A bit off topic here, but if OP doesn’t have Apple Care, is it better to get it fixed at a reputable third party repair store? I assume it’d be cheaper than Apple.
