Do acids eat away metals?
Mostly yes apart from very unreactive metals like lead or gold. If M is the metal and HX is the Acid the equation looks like: 2M + 2HX = 2MX + H2

How you keep away your laptop from rust?
Keep it away from muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid). The acid fumes form muriatic can cause metals to rust faster. My dad has a business that uses muriatic acid for cleaning. The smoke from it, can develop rust on metals immediately on the following day. Heat produced by laptop makes rusting even faster... You don't need to apply the acid to form rust. Using the laptop in a room with acid fumes is enough..
