They’re using water from the melted polar ice caps… http://www.maccomedy.com/new-macbooks-to-be-cooled-with-water-from-melting-polar-ice-caps/

It’d have to be a “premium” beer like Miller High Life or something

What if they sold Macbooks and then you’d get a six pack of beer for free with them ?

maybe the liquid cooled means you can cool your beverage while your notebook cooks your food

You’ll always be able to cook yourself breakfast on the MBP’s battery. If they go quad-core mobile, you’ll be able to cook an entire meal.

@oCRICKET: I think it’s a fine line between processor heat and cooling systems, but I see what you’re saying. If they keep increasing the processing power, then cooling systems will need to be redesigned or else it will always be the same overheating battle for consumers.

Cooling systems need to be completely rethought. Even this patent isn’t radical enough. They want to introduce quad-core mobile processors, but no cooling systems are sufficient enough to handle the heat that would be produced.

So does this mean I won’t be able to fry an egg on my Macbook Pro anymore?
