This is very interesting but it can already be done (except the floating shell). i think the nasa has created a polymer that, when applied on something like a computer, makes the unit completely waterproof. Right now, you can pay them for that. I saw it like 1 year ago at a tv show where the guy puts his computer completely in the water and uses it as if it was on his desk and the computer works normally without any problem.

Absolutely stunning artwork, yet details on this laptop is limited to only being waterproof, yet based on your specifications - this laptop must have a pretty high price.

I lost a sony vaio to a Starbucks tall latte and all I can say is, this is awesome. Also I recently bought a Buffalo external USB drive you can drop from 1 m and can say toughness sells. I am constantly freaking when people put tea etc. near my computer in open containers and when I am in the rain am always worried if my phone will die or my laptop might get some drops on it. Say what you will but things are too flimsy these days. There should be easy automatic backup solutions, waterproofness, and toughness built in to this stuff by now! (I would pay $300 more if so). I say build a package that can be added to any system as an option.

As a home-based telecommuter, I want a notebook I can work on while lounging in the hot tub. I want it to float in front of me while I type on a submersible keyboard in my lap.

Why would a laptop need a SCSI or a parallel port? Wouldn't it be better to just use a better technology like USB?
On that note, how is one going to cool a waterproof laptop properly? Is it expected to continue being usable when wet or would it shut itself down?
