You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s
You can tell it's an old stock photo by the ratio of the monitor.
And internet explorer
And windows vista
And Vista task bar
(un)fortunately, my thinkpad has a spillproof keyboard.
I bet it isn't hydrofluoric acid spill proof
Pour it on yourself and you'll never have to work another day in your life
Please don't spill HF anywhere that isn't specifically designed for it.
Just need a different liquid.
And a lighter
Hey boss , I worked so fast the computer overheated. Let's call it a day shall we?
Probably not a valid excuse with M series macbooks :(
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
Yes it still gets warm fairly often for me, but not first degree burn warm
That's what this picture was advertising.
Nothing an "accidental" fall can't solve
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.
The world of networking is full of accidents waiting to happen.
What if i have a Thinkpad X220?
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.
When people mention watercooling is this what they mean
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.
Do you exclusively use Thinkpads?
I guess so. Macbooks brick if the air has too much moisture. This guy has never seen a MacBook then
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.
What? How old are you?
