A new laptop was delivered to your home and left on the porch while you were at work. It is very cold and you don't know how long it has been there. You unpack the computer. You would like to know if it is working properly. What is the best thing to do?

Answer:

  • Leave the laptop for a while to warm up before switching on.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a great temperature difference between the laptop (outside environment) and the room environment.

We know internals will be even warmer once started and running. The difference in temperature may cause water condensation and damage to internal parts.
