Things you must remember before working on your computer
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.
