Special considerations
Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while
traveling to and from work:

cannot carry the computer with you, leave the computer in
the trunk of the car to avoid exposing the computer to
excessive heat.

condensation. Allow the computer to return to room
temperature, and inspect the screen for condensation
before turning on the computer. If the temperature change

to room temperature slowly. If possible, leave the
computer for 30 minutes in an environment with a
temperature between outside and room temperature.
