Would have to be strong

It would have to be very strong in order to prevent the tube containing the water from breaking and damaging components. You can't fit much in a 0.75in package, including a proper water-cooled processor.

This Toshiba would have one that's pretty inefficent because there's no indication that there's a refrigerator in it. The water would get hot over time and eventually the processor would be heated up more, not cooled down. Unless there was a slot for you to add more water, that is.

ummmm, apple's been doing it for years

my powerbook g3-333 (1999) has a bent tube containting water attached to the underside of the cpu heatsink/shield. I believe it was actually first used in a compaq circa 97. 1st water cooled laptop.... pahleeeze
