Apple Exploring Liquid Notebook Cooling Systems for Cooler Laps

i just don't think this is a good idea. it just seems like it's bound to mess up, and if it does, mess up bad

One thing that concerns me is weight. In a desktop, it's not so much of a problem. But in a laptop, it's a pretty critical thing. The plastic fans they use don't weigh much. If they end up needing to use a lot of fluid and a non-fan design, it could add more weight then what a fan adds to the laptop. Noise doesn't bother me, but weight does.

What really scares me is that I totally see them sacrificing the quality of the cooling implant in order to cointain the weight and thickness since they seem to be so obsessed with that. Form over functionality, same old same old.

Give apple some credit

Come on people. Apple's core misson is inovation. The reason that they are so sucessful is because they are willing to go where the common perso. Is afraid to fail. I'm quite certain that after doing a post mordem on the liquid coped G5 ,they have figured out a different aproach.

This could be interesting... and it will work... it really will work.. right up to the point they try and take one of the concepts through Airport security and get arrested for being a terrorist and the concept is taken out back and destroyed in a controlled explosion.
