If you're one of the people who can't resist a hot coffee, ice-cold beer or other beverage at your PC, HP may have the perfect solution for you. HP's new Probook-b series of laptops will be able to withstand spills from drinks being poured on them thanks to a gutter-like system under the keyboard, which directs the liquid towards a drain hole in the bottom of the laptop, averting a technology crisis. This spill-preventing technology has been demonstrated before, but HP will be the first manufacturer to commercially distribute products incorporating the technology. The Probook-b series will feature AMD processors and graphics as well as 14" or 15.6" LED back-lit screens. The new laptops will be available from 22 October starting at US$799, depending on the model and configuration.
