Is a cracked MacBook bezel considered a cracked screen?
So, like several others I've seen on here, the bezel below the screen on my 13" M2 MacBook Air cracked, just outside of warranty. Due to other hardware issues I've had despite taking very good care of this incredibly fragile machine, I've decided I want to switch to a Mac mini for my desktop and use my iPad with a keyboard for any on-the-go stuff.
So how much does a cracked bezel affect the trade-in value? My screen is in flawless condition, save for that small crack in the bezel. There is no other physical damage/marks or anything in the area and the screen has never showed signs of failing.
My question is really in the title. I'm looking to get this traded in somewhere, and I would like to know if a faulty bezel is generally considered damage to the entire $500+ screen, or is on par with a non-problematic dent/scratch on the body.
