Integrate a heating element into the optical drive drawer. |
|
|
Would also help with burning CDs and DVDs. |
|
|
Shouldn't be too hard. A lot of laptops have a heat-pipe
arrangement to get the heat from the CPU to the fan. Just
take it to this heating pad instead. |
|
|
And when you want to do some overclocking, just set a
block of dry ice on the heating pad. |
|
|
I'd like the option to have heater pads at the wrist wrests.
That might couple the heat pretty well to the blood flow of
the user, creating a very large liquid cooling system. |
|
|
Obviously not very comfortable for users who are too
warm already, but actually a very nice feature for those in
over-air-conditioned offices or labs. Maybe have a way to
redirect the flow of heat when it's not wanted. |

|
Has anyone spilled a cup of coffee on a laptop ? What was the result ? |
|
|
The burn pics on the Internet of the lady who sued MacDonald's for hot coffee burns, mean some temperature limiting means is wanted. |

I see what you did there, fuckers. |
|
|
I didn't like this idea so gave you a [+] on a different one that I
did. |
|
|
I've spilled a plateful of hot chilli con carne on my lap. |
|
|
Hot as in very spicy, or hot as in being considerably above ambient temperature, or both ? |
|
|
Heater schmeater. Why can't my laptop make me an
espresso with all the waste heat? |
|
|
Sounds like what you need is the new BorgCo ComputaCoffee portable espresso machine with integral widescreen LED touchscreen personal computer. |
|
|
Yes, we got one of those for Christmas. It made a
passable espresso, and even managed a decent
cortado, but then it tried to upload its firmware into
the dishwasher, washing machine and digital bidet so
we had to unplug it. |

How is it that the Collective make all these wonderful
products to improve human quality of life when we're all
gonna get assimilated anyway? What is a Borg on espresso? |

One thing at a time. First the coffee maker ... then the wearable fitness device ... then the augmented reality headset ... then the permanent cybernetic implants. |

Ooh, well spotted, [Ian Tindale]. |

What do you suppose was option A? Vril, possibly? |
