    Yes plenty of these videos on youtube. I believe one guy rides over a T61 on his motorbike and guess what, it powers up

    The only difference is that the one you are referring to, is a bit more realistic.

    Here's a commercial:

    Forget about the normal spill-proof keyboard :)

    That ability combined with the hover function would make quite the machine.
