Yes it does have that
As I view a Laptop as a product that is susceptable to outside influences as a vehicle is.

It does not matter how careful and protective you are, The unit is out of your control at places like the airport.

At a Starbucks, all it takes for a 1,500 dollar laptop to become a bookend is some hyperactive kid to knock it off the table, or a clumsy patron spilling their drink over it a he tries to squeeze past other patrons or displays at the location.

And yes, I have had to use it. An impropperly setup table at a function I was attending colapsed, an of course the lovely centerpiece had to have it's fall cushioned by my laptop happy
