I don't cook anything that has to do with, "Hot fats."

Usually tofu, vegetables, soy, and other stuff... But I'm careful, and I do it all the time.

Then it's reasonable that you use your mac in the kitchen whilst cooking. But hypothetically if you weren't vegan and had hots fats moving around... you would move your mac to a safe place right?
 
Alright so.. my friend accidenlty like spilled beef fat on my mac and now the lighting is uneven on the keyboards and when its left out in the cold the keys take a while to work. So can i go to the genuis bar and pretend i dont know what happened and get it replaced?

Another one trying to beat the system, seriously hope they charge you an arm and a leg if you go in with that attitude and story:D

I still would :D Because mainly, I know what I'm doing.
 
It wouldn't be possible for me to spill beef fat since I'm a vegan... Should I watch out for tofurkey fat? Oh wait, there is no fatty liquid :D

Yeah yeah yeah, you're vegan, superior to the nasty carnivores. Don't spill your nice cold glass of shut the hell up. :p
 
Spills I've seen:
Beef Fat (now)
Milk
Beer
Wine
Water
Soda
Tea (hot and cold)

Clearly of all those beef fat takes the cake. Now I've seen someone say someone accidentally pissed on their notebook and I know a couple of people who have said they've puked on theirs. The piss is funnier than the puke, you have to wonder how that came to be.

I can add to that list as I once spilt whiskey and coke on my old laptop but thankfully it wasn't my bad boy pro. :p Amazingly the laptop still worked after some drying out.

Well I have spilled beer beer many times... But I have a protective mod on my MacBook Pro and my PC laptops, so it doesn't go any further than killing the keyboard. But no spills in the kitchen!

Few weeks in rehab was it? :p

You're going to need to be extra careful from this point on just for tempting Murphy's law. :eek:

Yeah well great job. Someone who has the opportunity to destroy their notebook, let alone spill beef fat on to its components, probably isn't worthy of owning it in the first place.
The only way to remove fats of any kind, from anything, is with a non-polar substance like a surfactant (hose-hold soap) and rinse with water. Although, it wouldn't be a good idea to put anything else on it.
Apple will not replace the computer. They will definitely open it up and the damage would be obvious. Nevertheless, if that is your only resort give it a go and please tell us all what they say!
 
Maybe you should just hose it off and turn it upside down to dry off...then take it in and have it looked at...no evidence of beef fat.
