    Im going on a trip, and would like to take my laptop. However, on our way there we will get altitudes of up to 4818 metres above sea level. Is it safe to take my laptop up to that point? Would it be safe to just not turn it on? TIA.

    By the way, Im not going on a plane...I know theres no problem then :p.

    There's nothing in the manual about altitude.

    They mention temperature and humudity.

    I would say it's safe to use it at that altitude, you can call support anyway just to safe

    Your laptop would implode under the atmospheric pressure that builds up inside the cabin. jk.
