I've got to say, the liquid-catch-drain system Lenovo uses is pretty damned handy. It's one of those features you don't use very often (hopefully), but it's fantastic when you do need it.
- duncan_bayne 12y agoFrom what I saw when my colleague spilled a drink on a MacBook Air, Apple has a similar system. It's just that the Apple design uses the motherboard, which must be replaced afterwards ;)
- tonyarkles 12y agoHah, yup, definitely lost a Macbook Pro to that (luckily it was only a 13"). I was 4 days away from a big demo with a client, so I turned it off, walked across the street and bought another one, went home and pulled the hard drive out of the coffee-enhanced one, and carried on. In the aftermath, Apple wanted somewhere around $700 to fix it (motherboard, keyboard, trackpad). I ended up giving it to my very-handy-and-can't-see-any-hardware-die uncle, who found a company that specializes in repairing liquid soaked equipment. Only ended up costing him about $200 to fix it, but many hours of research and re-assembly.
