Mac Book External Temperature

Should I be concerned about damaging my MacBook if it's been in just sub zero temps in my car for a few hours and I don't give it enough time to acclimatize to the room temperature where I use it?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Let it warm to 50 °F / 10 °C first.


You may also need to be concerned if the temperature in your car was too cold, that could have a deleterious effect particularly on the battery


From the specs:

Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)

Storage temperature: –13° to 113° F (–25° to 45° C)
