2 wks high humidity: deadly?

Proposition: Going to the seashore for 2 weeks; best to leave brand new MBP behind and not expose it to the humidity there. Agree or disagree?

Long-ish stays in the same location in years past have killed two Bluetooth keyboards. Not in the same league, of course, but still, worrisome.

Thanks for any thoughts including how to protect the MBP if I do bring it.

Hi,

Just corresponded with someone who lived in a high humidity locale, Mac died, went to Apple Store, warranty rejected because of rust/corrosion. 90% humidity is a Mac's "limit." If it's anywhere near that, I wouldn't bring it, unless it's going to be in an air conditioned place the whole time.

Did you ever find an official Apple comment that gave a Mac no chance in 90% humidity?   Not meaning to contradict you tjk, just interested in how Apple can escape claims.   For example, I have never seen an Apple sales promoton that suggests one should not buy a Mac if humidity in an area is regularly at xxx level.

Yes. MacBook Pro - Technical Specifications - Apple

Big 'Thank you'.

But I ponder if some part of the general features would be understood by most people as a warning about humidity.  Indeed, how long or how often can the machine be exposed ... and how would Apple know anyway; humidity is rarely constant.

It follows if this would be a fair judgement.

I think it's very clear, and to ignore it....

Consider it a bit like water, dousing your Mac for just a second, it doesn't take a long time.

They have Liquid Contact Indicators.

The example I gave earlier.

Please don't try and talk this person into dragging their new MBP into a potentially damaging situation for their Mac.

'Nuff said.

Not my intent, I assure you.  It was curiosity on my part because it is somewhat obscure.   Thanks for being so obliging.
