Let your computer acclimate itself
Your notebook can easily stand temperature extremes but it doesn’t like rapid changes in temperature,
like going from the cold outdoors to a warm office. Rapid changes in temperature can cause water
droplets to condense inside your case, threatening to damage the electronic parts inside. After receiving
your notebook when it’s hot or cold outside, try not to power up the computer immediately; let the
computer adjust to the room temperature gradually for at least three to four hours.
If your computer is very cold or has been stored in a cold area, do not
apply power to the computer until it has been allowed to come to room temperature.
Heat, Cold, Humidity, and Glare
Find a suitable place for your computer that’s not too hot, too cold, too dark, or too bright. Glare can make
it hard to read the screen.
Allow plenty of room for air to circulate around the case to keep it from overheating. Components
could be destroyed if they are overheated.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Do not place your computer in direct sunlight.
Suitable place to work
Your computer will run well wherever you’re comfortable but extremes of temperature and humidity can
be challenging to your system’s parts. There are some things you can tolerate that the computer can’t –
things like static electricity, dust, water, steam and oil. In case you decide to pull over for roadside
computing, try to choose a clean, comfortable work area for your system.
