How much is it to fix cracked macbook pro retina display in UK?

Question

I stepped on the corner of my macbook pro 13" retina display and the screen has cracked and there is a black square in the corner where the screen is broken. I was wondering from others who have had the same experience how much is it to have the screen fixed in the UK?
Thanks

Answer 1

I brought it into Apple and had it looked at. The response was that I had three options.
1. Pay Apple $1,200 for a new case and assembly
2. Send case to China, lose the Mac for 2 weeks and pay $600 to replace the case
3. Accept the damage and consider it to be having "added character" to the Macbook.
I chose the latter of the three options and haven't looked back since. I actually have a story to tell with my Mac and a good laugh.
My recommendation however to anyone reading this would be to review if the damage is cosmetic (which mine is) or if it's functional damage. In my case, as I'm a photographer and this was my very first Mac, I wanted it to remain in perfect condition for as long as possible. That being said, I now see the construction of the device to be absolutely amazing. The design and unibody construction protected the Mac from shattering the glass. If this had been any other laptop device I am positive that the damage would have been functional in nature and I would have been spending money to resolve the issue.
The only thing that I ended up getting rid of was my backpack. I now use a breifcase from Saddleback Leather Company. The combination of the two have made me far happier.
I hope this was helpful.
