Spill It!
The keyboard on this Lenovo is spill-resistant. Ever wonder how they test that?
Spill Tester’s Log:
9:02am: Successfully spilled can of soda on keyboard while ThinkPad turned on. Effect on Rapidboot’s 30% faster boot up time: none.
9:31am: Simulated composing a college essay and managed to spill latte on keyboard. Reached for pen to make this note and managed to knock second latte (personal latte, intended for drinking) onto keyboard. Damage to Lenovo (through two spills): none.
9:42am: Taking mid-morning break early to purchase second personal latte (third latte overall) since first personal (second overall) was inadvertently included in a field test.
9:53am: Tripped on way into office. Not sure how book got there. Second personal (third) latte inadvertently incorporated into field test much like first personal (second). Damage to keyboard: none. Damage to pants: noticeable.
11:42am: Watched full movie on 11.6” display with anti-glare finish. Forgot to spill work-provided bottle of juice on Lenovo. Consumed instead. Lack of caffeine affecting focus.
11:44am: Ancillary Bottle of Juice Request Form: submitted.
11:56am: Supervisor denied request. Not happy with performance, despite my two additional Latte Spill Tests at personal expense.
12:03pm: Working through lunch to show work ethic to supervisor.
12:11pm: Using dual-core 1.6GHz AMD Fusion E-350 CPU and integrated AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics to play video games for soda spill test. Opened soda. Did not fizz out at all. Must have forgotten to shake it. Need to file Ancillary Bottle of Soda Request Form. Working through lunch hour might not look good for work ethic after all.
12:12pm: Taking lunch break to buy third personal (fourth overall) latte. Maybe caffeine will reinvigorate.
12:14pm: Supplemental test – damage to Lenovo when latte is spilled on shirt in coffee shop nowhere near spill testing environment: none.Authorized for SquareTrade Extended Warranty
