Hitachi's Water-cooled Laptop

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the degrees-of-seperation dept.

surfacearea writes "The Register has an article about the new Flora 270W Silent Model, a Japan-only 1.8GHz water cooled laptop. Apparently the pump and piping is all held behind the LCD in the lid. I wonder how much extra weight that consumes." But best of all, it means now laptops have a chance to spring a leak!

      "can you say hella lame?"

      It's hard to be critical of jokes like drip's when most Slashdot people think that stale jokes about Windows crashing are funny.
