3rd party vendors make sheets that cover the keyboard. The issue with this is that the keyboard is a vent to allow heat to get out. Putting a rubber cover over the keyboard causes the laptop to overheat and die.
MIL-STD 810G-tested for shock, vibration, humidity and altitude.
The military standard MIL-STD-810 test series addresses a broad range of environmental
conditions that include: low pressure for altitude testing; exposure to high and
low temperatures plus temperature shock (both operating and in storage);
rain (including wind blown and freezing rain); humidity, fungus, salt fog for rust testing; sand and dust exposure; explosive atmosphere; leakage; acceleration; shock and transport shock (i.e., triangle/sine/square wave shocks); gunfire vibration; and random vibration.
The environmental management and engineering processes described within MIL-STD-810
can be of enormous value to generate confidence in the environmental worthiness
and overall durability of a system design. Still, there are limitations inherent
in laboratory testing that make it imperative to use proper engineering judgment
to extrapolate laboratory results to results that may be obtained under actual
service conditions. In many cases, real-world environmental stresses
(singularly or in combination) cannot be duplicated in test laboratories.
Therefore,
users should not assume that a system or component that passes laboratory testing also would pass field/fleet verification trials.
Spilling a Soda onto your laptop keyboard in Most cases WILL KILL THE LAPTOP FOREVER.
I can find no maker that says SODA SPILL PROOF, KID PROOF.
Perhaps "spill resistant" is more accurate. It's the type of keyboard where the keys are more "flush" with the surface of the computer. If that makes sense. I believe there's some type of drainage that helps protect the computer from spilled liquids. I know this type of keyboard is a feature of laptops from other manufacturers so I'm assuming Dell offers this feature on some of theirs as well. If so, I only the model numbers so I can purchase the one that I need.

Why are you asking about Toshiba notebook features in a Dell forum?

Sorry, I meant Dell.

None say spill proof just spill resistant.
