You have to buy a new Macbook and if you don't have your own insurance, you'll be paying for it out of your own pocket. Here's United's liability clause, showing that their liability is around $500 if they lose your entire 50 lb bag, but if you lose just a laptop, good luck proving that they are liable... and if you do, maybe they'll give you $18 for your 3 lb laptop: For international travel to which the Warsaw Convention applies (including domestic portions of international travel), United's liability is limited to approximately $9.07 USD/CAD per pound up to $640.00 USD/CAD per bag for checked baggage and $400.00 USD/CAD per customer for unchecked baggage. https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/baggage/liability.aspx https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/baggage/liab...
