It's really really hot today. I got to hit my pool. It's mandatory. I've got a really neat floaty thing to relax in. (Day off)
So my question is...where do I get a good waterproof laptop to relax with. Otherwise I'm stuck in the air conditioned home using too much electricity which probably depletes something in the atmosphere.
Not that I'm adverse to depleting anything, especially our current White House resident, but I really could use some advice on water resistance and possible electrocution. (I never trust those batteries).

Panasonic makes some rugged laptops, not sure about waterproof tho.
You may qualify for the US Big Gubamint Pool&Pond&Lake Solar-Powered Laptop Subsidy Program. It includes an iPad option and a pontoon with solar arrays already attached or you can get the kit and assemble it yourself or hire a couple local day laborers. Made in China, of course, but what isn’t these days?

Most likely large heat sinks and low power devices which don’t generate a lot of heat.

Get a netbook.
Place netbook inside 2 gallon Ziplock bag.
Voila, a $400 water-proof laptop.

I think that would be an input issue.

In order to ensure they don't become waterlogged, please make sure that your lisps are sealed.

You’re all giving him sensible suggestions.... and I’m still back on the “depleting Obama” crack. I’m surprised the FBI isn’t already knocking on his door, forever removing any waterproof-laptop concerns from his mind. Freedom of speech is not such a sure thing anymore and sometimes I find I’m actually careful about what I say about our “great” leader. What? In America????? Who’d a thunk it.

That word......book.....it sounds oddly familiar. Would that be a Netbook, or a notebook?

I don’t know about water-proofing, but yesterday I found out (while a spider was zooming down on me) my Sony Vaio can survive a pretty nasty fall!
