Are MacBook’s Waterproof?

MacBooks are popular among laptop users for their design, features, and performance. If you’re a MacBook lover, you may be wondering, are MacBooks waterproof?

Here are some facts about the relationship between MacBook’s and water. Most of these facts should give you a good idea of whether MacBook’s can withstand liquid damage. Spoiler alert: they can, with a few caveats. Keep reading to learn more!

Are MacBooks waterproof?

The short answer is: no, MacBooks are not waterproof. But they are water-resistant! Your MacBook can withstand light exposure to water, such as rain or accidental spills.

However, water resistance is not the same as waterproofing. Waterproofing means that an item is entirely impervious to water, no matter how long or how much exposure it has to water. Waterproofing is a feature found in some phones and other electronics, but not in MacBooks.

What about waterproof cases for MacBook’s?

There are a few different companies that make waterproof cases for MacBooks. These cases are designed to protect your MacBook from water damage in an accident.

While these cases can be helpful, it’s important to remember that they are not foolproof. If your MacBook falls into water while it is in a waterproof case, there is a good chance that it will still get damaged. Waterproof cases are a good option if you want an extra layer of protection, but they should not be relied upon as the sole method of waterproofing your MacBook.
