Q: macbook goes from sleep to off when I travel

Why does my Macbook turn itself off when I travel?  Does heat effect the macbook?

    To protect itself, a Mac will turn off when it overheats; but it would have to get really hot.

     

    A second and more probable possibility is the battery. It is either going bad, or you are not plugging the Mac in frequently enough to recharge. The battery does discharge as long as the Mac is on.

     

    Have a nice day.
