Nope. *There are wet tantalum capacitors (that exist), but nobody uses
those in laptops. *In laptops you find surface mount dry tantalums
among other solid types, not electrolytic at all... again, this refers
to semi-modern laptops, not something really ancient.

Check your laptop and make sure you DON'T have any of the mugs in the shot.
