    I'm goin on a vacation soon and i want to take my comp. but I'll be spendin a lot of time on the beach, which means the laptop will be in a bag in the car. If it's about 90 degrees F outside, it'll prob. get to around 130 inside. Is it safe to store laptops (specifically the e1505) at those temps?

    No; I would avoid storing it in above-normal temperatures. Do not leave the laptop in your car, take it inside and put it somewhere out of the sun and extreme heat.

    i should say almost definately its fine as long as its not long time, i carry myne in the trunk of my car (5+ hours) a day and im in florida it gets to over 100F here as long as the pc isnt on and you give it time to cool down your fine imo just take the battery out somewhere cool

    i dont know the exact storage temps but i can tell you what i know from experience
    storing a laptop below -5c isnt good, but once warmed back to room temperature, its fine
    ive got 4 laptops (varying ages) and they all work, its 27c here during the day *inside* and after 3 years they all still run strong during the hurricane season my laptop weathered over 35c with no adverse affects *no a/c*
    as long as you dont try to use them in the heat your fine

    my laptops on now, its 27c in here with the A/c on and fans in my room
    cpu is 47c
    hd 41c
    its been on 2 hours and the fans arnt on yet
