When is Apple going to release a fully weather sealed laptop?

This is not a market that I see Apple ever pursuing. Their products are designed to be sleek and minimalistic, not "rugged".

Waterproof is not going to happen.

That's a beyond niche market...

I remember occasionally seeing engineers with Panasonic Toughbooks which I think were designed specifically for using outdoors in the rain etc.

.... wow, they're still a thing!

This is a typical Dell Rugged Latitude laptop.

Not an Apple aesthetic at all. Itronic made a rugged laptop in the day. Would withstand a 1.5” firehose spraying water on the keyboard for an hour while typing the whole time, getting dropped open and the operating system running from any angle from five feet onto concrete without any problem running the operating system. That’s not an Apple, either.
