Ultrabook that has spill resistant keyboard/touchpad
« on: September 01, 2022, 01:34 PM »
Hello

I am looking for a 13-14.5" laptop that has spill resistant keyboard/touchpad and it is not rugged/semi-rugged.

My laptop failures have been almost exclusively due to spilled coffee/water or dust, bread crumbs/bits.

I know some HP ones have that but they have bad reputation in terms of quality and would like to explore alternatives.

A new Dell I bought, I wet wiped its touchpad and it is now broken!

Any idea?

Thanks!

Not what you asked for, but probably still a decent idea: Keep food and drink and other wet/sticky substances away from your electronics.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
