2017 15” MacBook Pro & cold weather

[Abu Khadija]

I take my MacBook with me when I drive the truck on weekends. This past weekend it was really cold. I have the heat on when I drive but when I’m on deliveries the truck is off.

Could the cold harm my MacBook enough that I can’t use it?

With constant heating and cooling you will eventually get condensation which is not good for any electronic device. I carry my MBP in a well padded case and have moisture absorbing silica gel dry-packs. That way I can guarantee that no moisture can get into my computer. Just offering up what I do in the winter. It can get to -40 Celsius here in central Alberta. Hopefully other can offer further advice. Thanks!

I have it in a padded sleeve, but I don’t think that’s going to do the trick. Might have to leave it home and take the 10.5” iPad instead.

I tell ya. I miss my MacBook Pro. Having the 10.5” iPad Pro with me is fine but I miss that beauty of a 15” space gray.
