Imaging Laptop

[SurfingNeil]

Hi All,

I was wondering if people have problems with their laptops outside on a cold evennings, does anyone into imaging have any advice on what to do, although they have some down in price considerably replacing them can work out spendy.

I've used an old PIII compaq for the last three winters, I have an old blanket.

So the laptop is generally placed on a wooden chair (with slats to allow air movement), then once I've finished altering stuff on it I lay a blanket over the whole lot (with the screen up). I don't have any problems.

But I've had mine dripping in dew and covered in frost and it's never really complained.

My Toshiba (work) laptop has been outside in the very coldest (-6C) and dewiest (swimming!) weather. So long as you have a way of covering it to protect it from dew, you shoud be fine.
