You're in Asia? Perfect!.. Get some rice.. and place the laptop in with it.. The rice will absorb moisture.. help you out a lil' better than anything else.. unless you have those little absorption balls that come with shoes and backpacks and stuff.

Know you didnt mean it like this but you make it sound like you can only buy rice in Asia! Like popping outside and theres just rice lying around in the street or something. :D

Isn't that how it is?

I mean in Australia you walk outside and there is usually a kangaroo which you can hop on and take you to school, or work.

Ahaha I actually lold at that one.

RE using rice: that sounds like a horrible idea! Won't rice get in all of the tiny groves and crevices that laptops have? I'm visualizing a Windows laptop though, I don't know if Macbooks are constructed differently in that regard.

Anyway to the OP... I understand that you must keep using your laptop because of your situation, but you have to look at it in another way. If you don't do something to help the laptop, then it will die, and you will be worse off than if you had lost a couple of days travel/work.

Sort of dried up on its own over the past week. There's some damage to the screen (uneven light, streaks, water spots), so i'll be claiming on my travel insurance and then buy the next revision. Hopefully it'll survive my trip to vietnam, cambodia and japan!

::gasp:: You doubt the mystical Waterbook Pro?!?!? :o

What would he gain by making this up?

um, hello?

This is Neowin, the only reason the Neobahn exists is because people post pictures of cars, because otherwise, it's very very clear that they are the figment of our imagination.

I've been here for 5 years, and my considered opinion?

More pics or it didn't happen! :D

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
