In terms of water, the X220 fares quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDmCmmvIA8A

 

However, in terms of drops, the X1 is better:

 

A good compromise would be a T420 or T420s.

 

If you want something newer, the T440s is pretty good as well:

Why would you be dropping your laptop in a puddle anyway?

I have a suggestion. Don't drop your laptop. Seriously, it is not that hard. 

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.
