    Hello,


    Well now I own a fast casual restaurant and I'm going to be working in a "wet/humid" environment. What's the best way to protect the laptop again liquid spills etc.? Is there a transparent cover for the keyboard or something?

    Thanks!

    Congrats on your investment.

    I cant think of anyway to protect from spills unless you wrap it around with some saran wrap :eek: :confused: :(

    They have keyboard covers and such, but i still wouldn't feel comfortable.

    I found this website http://www.protectcovers.com/laptop.htm

    You can send them a email and ask if they have something that may fit the IFL90 (if they know what that is :rolleyes:)

    Most of notebook are not made for humid environment. Plus if some water get in and it breaks, the warranty if terminated right away. Buy yourself a toughbook from Panasonic.

    Don't buy a toughbook. trust me...its horrible. We use them at work, and they're not that great to work with. At least the version we have: the really rugged one.

    I don't think he need the armored one.... The lighter versions should do the job nicely.

    best to keep the laptop out of the restaurant or in a cool dry place, like a notebook sleeve. usually moisture from a very humid environment enters through the laptop's cooling vents and you dont want to block those.

    humid enviroments and laptops don't mix. eventually something's gonna give. and you'll be out warranty if any evidence of water is inside the laptop.
