I used to perch a laptop on my lap whilst feeding my son with a bottle. That stopped reasonably sharpish after he puked all over the laptop keyboard.
How hard can it be to make laptops waterproof? Or at least resistant to water spills etc :/
- mortenjorck 17y agoUntil you can find a way to cool a laptop CPU passively, you're going to need airflow, so sealing the case is out. Although building the platform on ARM (as we presume the Tablet to be) probably fixes that by simply not using a laptop CPU. Not to say that you can't have a passively-cooled x86 system, but are any of the new integrated platforms cool enough for that? Given the power you can get with ARM SOCs these days, it may not matter.
- axod 17y agotrue, true. I'd at least like to see laptops that have a sealed keyboard/top system, so that they can withstand a spill from above. They'd sell like hotcakes.
- weaksauce 17y agoThey do make those but they are "rugged" pc's you can spill your whole water on it while running and it won't stutter. The downside is that they are expensive as all get out for a lobotomized laptop. http://www.ruggednotebooks.com/ http://www.ruggednotebooks.com/
