Is it dangerous to touch an unplugged laptop with wet hands?

When it's on, but unplugged using battery power. If you have just washed your hands and they are still very wet is it dangerous to touch it?

    Not in the sense that your thinking. It will probably hurt the computer more than it will hurt you.

    No.

    In fact, it is not really that dangerous to touch it while it is plugged in, but you should always err on the side of caution.

    What I would be more worried about is the water from your hands getting inside the laptop and damaging the internal components.
