Condensation on my MacBook ?

[Pinkyyy 💜🍎]

Hey so recently, I've noticed that whenever I pick my MacBook up, I find it slightly wet/moist

I was worried that I might have been storing it in a wet place or something, but this is not the case at all
Just picked it up right now and it was completely wet from the bottom

I do not use it very often, and I always make sure that I store it in a completely dry place
But this has started to get me worried about the possibility of it getting damaged from that-

The weather is pretty cold where I live, and I always find my MacBook really cold whenever I pick it up since I don't use it a lot, so I'm not too sure if this could be the reason.

Do you put it in a case or sleeve? If not, maybe that might help. Wet/moisture is not good for any type of electronics.

What is the room temperature where you are keeping the Macbook?

 

[Jim Lahey]

Its surface temp must be at the dew point. Increase temperature or reduce humidity where it’s kept or stored.

Are you running a humidifier or boiling water often? Or is it next to a bathroom/shower that isn’t vented? Those will put moisture in the air that can condense on cooler objects.

100%

Humidity in the home can easily creep into the 70% or higher range. Throw bathrooms and kitchens into the mix and 80+ isn't unusual if measures aren't taken. Combine with low ambient temps and you have a recipe for water vapour condensing on metal and glass.

Looks like your MBP is a naughty boy when he’s alone…
