But not technically the best designs. They run high voltage next to unprotected low voltage which in the case of water ingress can damage things like the CPU. This may not be an issue with a desktop but it is with a laptop or keyboard. Alternatively you could coat a board if there are places where you can't get around such design situations but Apple doesn't do that either.
- Damogran6 5y agoName another desktop (or laptop even) that’s designed for water ingress. Sure, some keyboards have channels to run a cup of coffee away, but I want to know who creates a “technically the best” design that isn’t a massive brick-with-a-handle MDT.
- PUSH_AX 5y agoIs it not safe to assume that if you have water ingress all bets are off regardless?
- sschueller 5y agoSometimes dust and humidity is enough if the traces are that close to each other.
- PedroBatista 5y ago“Water” also means condensation or humidity from just the weather or even some rain sprinkles. They seem to design their products for Cupertino weather , specifically the weather inside their spaceship lab and fake model homes. Or is just good ol’ “planned attrition”..
- traceroute66 5y ago> condensation or humidity from just the weather or even some rain sprinkles. I find all these comments here very strange indeed. The Mac Studio is a desktop. Like any other desktop from any other manufacturer it is intended for use indoors in a typical home or office environment. If you require a device that works outside of "normal" parameters then there are specialist industrial PC manufacturers who will build you something that will deal with humidity, dust, vibration and temperature extremes. 99.999999999999999999% of people on this planet do not require the extra mechanical designs (and associated expense) of an industrial PC. Hence Apple and every other commodity PC manufacturer on this planet designs for the typical home or office. Edit to add: Look at the Mac Studio specs: - Operating temperature: 10° to 35° C (50° to 95° F) - Storage temperature: –40° to 47° C (–40° to 116° F) - Relative humidity: 5% to 90% non-condensing - Operating altitude: tested up to 5,000 metres (16,400 feet) I'd say that pretty much covers everyone on the planet, and if your house or office falls outside of those parameters then you probably have bigger personal health problems to worry about (caused by living/working in such extreme conditions for long periods of time) than whether your Mac Studio will boot up. ;-)
- ask_b123 5y agoWithout knowing much about temperature specs, that minimum operating temperature seems quite high. This week, here, it'll be a bit colder than 10° C and I don't live in a particularly cold place.
- traceroute66 5y ago> This week, here, it'll be a bit colder than 10° C and I don't live in a particularly cold place. Its 10° C inside your house / office ?!?
- nicoburns 5y agoI don't understand why manufacturers haven't waterproofed keyboards. It's such a common failure mode you'd think it's be an easily marketable feature. And they're already doing it for phones.
- Maursault 5y agoYou mean Coke-proof. No one spills water on their keyboard, and water will not hurt your keyboard.
- sschueller 5y agoNo one should be drinking distilled water. Non distilled water will conduct electricity.
