Nowadays laptops are becoming more and more energy
efficient which is great if you're on the move. But that also
means that almost nothing comes out of the fan outlet, which
is perfectly placed to keep your coffee warm. The solution
would be to add a small heating element in the fan outlet or
a pull-out heating pad. Just be careful not to move your
laptop in that case.
(i know there's usb heating gadgets, but this should be a basic
function of a laptop)

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? |
