Last night, a container of bubblestuff was dumped on my macbook air. Today I took it to apple to see if they can help. They helpfully told me it was entirely filled with bubblestuff, and was irreparable, but I was welcome to send it to the depot, where they'd see if it was repairable. If so, it'd be $755. But that there was almost no chance they'd fix it.

So I've filed a claim on my homeowner's insurance. Hopefully I get a check soon so I can replace it.

It's $500. So basically, they'll pay for half. But I did pay extra for computer coverage, so if I'm lucky, they'll do it with less deductible, I just have to wait to talk to the adjuster to find out for sure.

Depends on what that "computer coverage" is that you purchased. If you scheduled it should be no problem with $0 deductible. If it is one of a myriad of endorsements out there, who knows? Most homeowners policies will not cover accidental spills to personal property.

Hope you get it fully covered.

it definitely covers accidental spills. Hopefully it does it with a reduced deductible, but even $750 is better than nothing.

If they let you keep the bubble-abused Air, alcohol has been known to have a varying degree of success. The sooner the better...
