My guess as to how this happened? A disgruntled spouse or significant other taking revenge. They just didn’t realize they came short of destroying the whole computer.

That they went in and removed the battery before sawing it indicates it was probably an institution (school, government, hospital etc.) that wanted to dispose of them and not resell them. They were not smart enough however to destroy the SSD which is really the only thing that needs to be destroyed to prevent data recovery.

@@Black-Circle Some places are not allowed to resell computers due to grant rules etc.. My guess is that this was the case, they removed the battery to avoid an explosion and tried to destroy the computer by sawing before sending it to a recycler. I suspect this was recovered from a recycler and then sold.

Luke I totally agree with you regarding sawing a MacBook Pro. But thankfully you were there to make what looked like an impossible task into something that at least now works. I really enjoy all your videos and look forward to always seeing what’s next. Thank you!
That poor MacBook Pro oh my goodness that broke my heart this video will definitely get over a million views watching the whole repair process was so cool
The problem is not repairing it, it's getting the parts that is hard. On ebay, screens go almost as much as for a new MacBook
They must have seen the MacBook Air leak and said "well this is useless now"
*looks at thumbnail* Me: THAT'S ALOT OF DAMAGE
My guess is it was supposed to be a way of destroying a computer before getting rid of it. I wonder when Luke will start welding the cases back together.

1:15 even i see you through a screen 😂😂😂👍
What do I think happened to it? My guess is that someone (who wasn't vey tech literate) wanted to destroy data on it, like how you would shred a sensitive document, before realizing half way through that doing so would be incredibly messy and difficult. Or maybe they thought having cut half way through would have been enough to kill it.
Wow,Luke.Love your content and positivity!Thank you very much.
That's impressive Luke. Good stuff!
I love your repair videos. As for the saw used, Im sure it's not a table saw and most likely a Hack Saw. A table saw would have left a much wider saw kerf and there's no way I'd do that on my table saw, blades are to expensive, and I don't even want to think about what would happen as I feed that into the blade. Think terrifying.
To show you the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this MacBook in half!
I have absolutely no guesses on a how this MacBook got sawed this badly, but it's incredible that you still managed to get it working again. Keep up the good work Luke!
I love how smoothly the hinge still works though lol

I can certainly imagine reasons to destroy a laptop - sensitive data, proprietary documents, or just someone with a lot of money and anger management issues - but then why would they turn around and sell it? I'm guessing the laptop was trash picked, so you have the destroyer, and the salvager as two different people.

Niceee, its a good day when Luke uploads!
I feel like Luke just sawed the "wishbook pro" in half and repaired it for some content 😂 Edit: I do believe this is actually what he did, I think this mostly because he 1. didn't show the listing he mention and 2. when he opened the package he said " I need to order some parts " insinuating that he hadn't ordered them, cut forward a few days when he gets the parts he is still wearing the same shirt and outfit he had on when he filmed the opening, usually in his videos when he cuts forward time he is wearing something different, 3. Who would take the battery out just to saw it in half it takes a LOT of experience to take batteries out of the 2016-2017 Macbook pros, THEORY SOLVED
Great videos as always!
I really do love this channel. You do some funny vids!!
I’ve been waiting for this video 😳
Plot twist: He did this on purpose just to show us he can fix anything
Pretty Straight Cut I Would Say That Someone Used A Table Saw. I Don't Know Why Someone Would Do That But When I Saw You Take It Out Of The Box I Did Not Give It Much Hope. Great Job Luke
this should be an ad for the new macbook, the slogan should be: Macbook Pro, we survive the chainssaw
My theory is the couple decided to break up and they bought this macbook with their money so they decided to cut this in half for each one of them but while cutting, they felt that they still love each other so they stopped cutting it and they live happily ever after.
Luke as a Karen: “ExCusE mE”
The owner was 100% a gamer or has a dare channel. Imma search for 'Cutting MacBook in half' challenge
This is so rewarding! a lucky shot, indeed!
