Picture This
You're sitting in an aisle seat of an airplane working to complete a presentation. The food cart accidentally bumps into your tray table, knocking a cup of hot coffee onto your keyboard. The results could be disastrous, unless your keyboard, ports and internal circuitry have been designed to resist such hazards.
It's unavoidable. Notebooks get caught in the rain and accidentally dowsed with coffee just like you do.
According to the TBR Damage Survey, the leading causes of notebook damage are drops and spills.
