Was this was checked luggage?  I ask as I've spent the past few months
casually researching a laptop for the purpose of traveling.  In the
past, I've always keep mine as a carry-on and intent to do so going
forward.  I'm mainly looking at battery life and currently the 13" Dell
XPS has my eye, which is more svelte and likely more susceptible to
damage than I'm sure your HP is/was.

If you had yours as carry-on I may need to look into airline policies on
damage (if there is such a thing).
