    (un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.

              Kidding aside, the M series is incredible with how cool and queit it is. It’s a laptop you can actually put on your lap.

                Yeah it’s pretty clear Apple took their knowledge of building mobile processors since the A6, which is really the first iPhone processor they made in house. Then they probably poached a bunch of people from intel or amd and grabbed a few of their PowerPC vets and here we are. Love or hate Apple, the M series is great for processor competition because it is a great processor line

        I’m just imagining having a bad day at work and then pushing my PC off my desk at noon on a Friday, calling IT and punching out.

        I mean I am IT, but still.

      Have you ever read that Wikipedia article, Timeline of the Far Future? “Median half-life of the ThinkPad X220” is listed between “The Sun reaches the top of the red-giant branch of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram” and “the Moon spirals below Earth’s Roche limit, breaking into a ring of debris”.

    Fret not, dear User! For I as the IT admin will happily pour water directly into the parts that matter.

    By pouring water over a laptop that’s been forgotten in a corner of the basement for 20 years?

    Anyone know if this actually does anything to modern laptops? I can’t think of a single computer I’ve used that didn’t have drainage in the keyboard.

        I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then

          For real? I was contemplating a used one that was offered to me

        I have a Thinkpad and some weird ass dell or something but IIRC they have some holes with a water drop shape embossed nearby. The rest are desktop keyboards.
