I agree there - the real issue is the spill.

However, there is no excuse not to design something with safety in mind.

If you look at the base, the edge rim of it is where it seeped in and sat in the curved section like a pool when oriented normally. There was at least 10ml of water which had been sucked off the table via that rim. The logical step is "isolate power". Any movement of the device resulted in the water spilling onto the logic board.

Now TBH I've personally done this with an acer timeline. I yanked the battery out in 5 seconds flat and hung it up to dry. It was fine the next day.
