    I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a laptop available that would shut off if liquid was spilled inside it and if so, could I be provided with some information. Thanks much.

    I know that more and more systems (Dell Inspiron's, Vostro's and Latitudes are the three product lines I know off of the top of my head but there are more) are coming with what's known as sealed keyboards, that can resist a light spill.

    Then there are the Lenovo ThinkPads, that actually have drainage holes on the bottom of the machine that liquids spilled on the keyboard go through!
