MAKER of chips and bits, Intel has developed a laptop keyboard which is beer, coffee, water, and fag ash proof.
According to
TVNZ Chipzilla boffins have developed a new type of keyboard that allows air to be drawn from above, but prevents liquids from passing through.
Normally sealing a laptop keyboard from liquids will block vital air inlets meaning the laptop could overheat and blow up like a Sony battery.
Apparently the new
Intel keyboard is made from a semi-porous material that Chipzilla boffins have grown in a test tube. The keyboard can be sealed and the machine will not overheat
In short, if you tip coffee, beer, or the spirits of your choice over your laptop the thing will still work.
Chipzilla has also not said when lappies sporting the new keyboards will hit the shops.
