How did you figure the trunk would be 'better or worse' ~ than back seat for a portable computer?


The heat would accumulate over the course of a day's time; and could get above +150°F. easily.

Perhaps that'd get nearer boiling point of water! (And what about condensation/humidity?)


The best thing for Mac would be if someone took him on indoor vacation for a little AC + TLC.

Little else to advise in this matter -- except keep mac portable where it's neither hot, nor cold.
