The temperature that is too cold for a computer in a car is when the temperature gets below freezing or 32 F or below and in subfreezing temperatures the computer could be damaged including the LCD screen.

The temperature that is too cold for a laptop is any temperature below 40 F and when you get down to 30 F or below that becomes even worse for the laptop.

It's not safe to put your laptop in the freezer as the water condensation can cause the laptop to short circuit and damage the screen and circuit boards.

If you're simply wanting to cool the laptop down then you can use a big fan to blow air directly over the laptop to cool it down.

Electronic devices suffer from temperature extremes.

Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) of laptops, phones, and PDAs really do freeze.

Laptops have been designed to work within a safe temperature range, typically between 50 to 95 degrees F (10 - 35 degrees C).

 Never leave your smartphone, notebook, tablet, or any other mobile device in your cold vehicle for extended periods of time.

Even with a case, such extended time can cause permanent internal and external damage.

Be extra careful around snow as well.

You can also cool your laptop using a laptop cooling table.

An interesting and important question. Thanks for the recommendation. I am deeply convinced that equipment also needs special care and adherence to the rules of use. I confess howly.com always fascinates me. Just one day they helped me with advice on Troubleshoot BritBox TV issues. I just asked questions that interested me and immediately received answers from professionals. They are available 24/7. It can be seen that these guys value even their potential customers.
