A Ukrainian soldier has shown how his M1 MacBook Air has almost survived a direct hit from artillery shell shrapnel.
Usually if a YouTuber is going to stress-test an Apple device, it’s their iPhone and they drop it a lot. This time, YouTube user “Shadows” is also a soldier in Ukraine’s Azov special forces brigade, and he didn’t intend to stress-test his MacBook Air.
While he is also a photographer on Instagram, unsurprisingly, this soldier does give much detail over his duties or this specific incident. But he has shown two images on Twitter of his MacBook Air after a shelling.
