I think I’d get kicked off the construction site roof at those temps - they closed the roof I was meant to be working on today - but I’ll sometimes end up on a roof doing commissioning in the sun in the mid thirtys. I try to keep my laptop out of the sun otherwise it gets too hot to touch on the back of the display.
No!.. since it’s hell (summer) in australia right now, if someone in australia has a V right and would like to leave their V in the sun for 30min then notice if there is a preference decrease?
I’m not sure I’d recommend that - the back of my laptop (Dell E6420 lattitude - gunmetal grey) gets too hot to touch if the sun hits it directly for a while. That wouldn’t be good for the battery inside the V or the screen.
I’m pretty sure if I left my V in the sun here in the Perth summer for 30 minutes, then I’d be able to fry my eggs on it for lunch.
(Last year some guy fried eggs on his dark blue car bonnet in the sun?
Leaving anything coloured black in the sun at those temperatures is what I would consider to be unintelligent and asking for trouble. Especially if it was not designed for those temperatures specifically in the first place.
Most electronic things can only handle operating in an ambient temperature of about 10 - 40 degrees C
I remember last year the battery in my Samsung S7 died when I was using it outside in temps below 0 degrees.
These batteries don’t like temps below 10 degree C.
bonus feature, use the V as a grilling pan in summer!
Eve went through multiple prototypes and deliberation to get the paint just the right shade so that the V can grill you meat under the summer sun.
Yo, Thai boy. Singapore boy here. I think I can answer you.
You guys australia have a dry heat - its 30C 90% humidity here in the jungle southeast Asia. Do you know how messed up that kind of humidity is? I’m not a scientist but basically it’s like swimming to work everyday (scientifically).
The BBC thinks there’s places we haven’t explored yet but they just don’t realise when humidity gets to 101% we go from jungle to swamp, so they get a bit lost when that happens.
Anyway I haven’t noticed the V throttle because of ambient temperature - sometimes when i connect my egpu and the V is tucked in the space between the egpu and the monitor then maybe there’s something - but then again, it’s also in a tight space with poor airflow and two much bigger things just farting hot air on it.
Could also be it’s the cpu having trouble keeping up with the gpu, or maybe the hub-in-a-hub-in-a-hub thing I’ve got going isn’t what usb 3 was meant for and it’s just the cpu going ‘hey man, wtf?’
But yeah. Don’t stick your V in [an oven/ your pants/ under the stairs] and the weather shouldn’t even be a concern.
We have better here in Alberta (Canada) … in summer it can be easily over 30 degrees, in winter sometimes below -40 … plus in southern Alberta (Calgary) we have Chinook wind in winter when temperature changes by 30 degrees (-30 to 0) in one hour.
