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!

    I am not so sure this is a good idea. One very popular place to use laptops (other than Starbucks) is on airplanes, which have pressurized cabins. It seems like the increased pressure might weaken the piping system, causing leaks and failure. If I get one of these, I'll use a vacuum case for travelling with it.
