Thankfully haven't had to test it but the spill-resistance on Thinkpads is a nice feature too. I won't drop mine in a tub or pool tho. :)

Ditto my Sony Xperia Z, which glob99 was helpful enough to post a picture of.

Spill resistance of the Thinkpads is limited to liquid spilled onto the keyboard, there is a membrane and drainholes to channel the spilled liquid out.

It has happened about 5 times over two Thinkpads.

In olden days, the best tech tip ever was to hit it (think tv sets that were flickering). This could be called booting it.

Nowadays, it's reboot it!
