Chosen Solution
I am working decades with my MacBooks, never had any Problems. Since a couple of years I spend around 6 months a year in Costa Rica, living at the beach, around 100 meters from the shore, no AC. But I treat my stuff really careful So the first FUC**G issue started 1 1/2 years ago, my mb 15 waked up very slowly, till one day! So I went to an apple store, they told me liquids on the MB, no way!So at the end I buried my MacBook after 3 1/2 Years of work. I bought a new 15er and treated it like an raw egg. Today, after 1 1/2 years it stopped working, no words! I was so smart and got an special insurance for liquids. But come on, thats not a solution, I am working with this tools and I need it! So is there any solution to get that bastard work more than 1 1/2 years? I did some research and I am playing with the idea to get an Thinkpad, people are really happy with it. But the thing is I am absolutely not keen on Windows, unix is no option either, no Software for my Work as Graphic Designer Thanks and take care, M
Living in Costa Rica’s high humidity environment, you do need to be careful, not matter what computer you have. The issue is when you let your system rest it gets cold enough moisture will collect on the cold metal surfaces. So every night your system gets wet! So how do you over come this? Setting up a warm storage bin to keep the system warm enough so the moisture doesn’t condense out of the air. I’ve had to setup a few for some scientist. We used a heavy cooler which we installed a heating pad like this one Sunbeam Moist / Dry Heat Heating Pad, Light Blue. You’ll need to drill a hole to feed the cords through. So every night after you’ve shut the system down place your system into the cooler onto of the heating pad as the lowest setting (I used a few pieces of 2” square sticks to keep the system from direct contact with the blanket. Plug in the power cord if you need to recharge the battery that should do it. You might want to add a digital oven thermometer so you can monitor the internal cases temp.
