Yesterday, a Kickstarter campaign page for an upgradeable liquid-cooled laptop design dubbed the UHPILCIL T100 went live, paired with a YouTube video demonstrating one of these watercooled laptops in action. The UHPILCIL T100 and its slightly larger T100 Super variant (identical dimensions except for an extra 7 mm of cooler height on the Super) both resemble extra-thick 17-inch laptops, with lots of additional ventilation (and extra bulk) behind the screen to account for a liquid cooling radiator and pump. Since this isn't a closed loop, end users will need to provide their own de-ionized water to add to the loop before the laptop can be used.
What's extra interesting about this UHPILCL T100 laptop design, though, is that the large form factor and dedication to full-blown open-loop liquid cooling allows for fully-fledged desktop PC hardware to be used inside. The build not only supports up to 720W TDP of heat dissipation across the CPU and GPU, it also supports full Mini-ITX motherboards from AMD and Intel, and can even be saddled with an RTX 5090 so long as you opt for the T100 Super model.
