My laptop can't handle being submerged in a puddle why would a car? It's batteries being submerged, the doors aren't waterproof. It's not a amphebian vehicle. If the puddles are deep enough to leak water into your car and your car has batteries you shouldn't drive through it. If you do and the batteries die, then you can't expect your warranty to cover you. Nothing prevents you from taking your laptop in the shower, but if you drop it and it dies, then you gotta pay for it. Seems reasonable enough.
