ThinkPad Notebooks: Spill Proof
I was in the movie theater a few days ago watching the previews before the movie started. Turns out that a new Mr. Bean movie is coming out. One of the scenes in the preview took place on an airplane. A man is sleeping on an isle seat with his laptop in front of him. His laptop is placed right next to his coffee. Mr. Bean, as clumsy as he is, knocks over the cup of coffee and it spills all over the man’s laptop destroying it.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was, “Too bad the guy didn’t have one of the new Lenovo ThinkPads.” The new ThinkPad has a drainage system built in beneath the keyboard to protect it. It can handle spills up to 60cc.
Now, if by accident, you spill something on your laptop, it won’t completely destroy it. It will just drain off. Certainly I wouldn’t recommend showering with the thing, but spills have gone from being devastating, to just not convenient.
Hat’s off to Lenovo for this one. I with it had come out earlier since I have in the past severely damaged my computer once or twice with careless spills.
