Macbook Pro M3 Sweaty Surface

[Konstantinos_KXS]

I was using for two hours during cold night my Macbook Pro M3 2023 on the sofa on my legs and I saw the down metal surface full sweaty and with water. I am wearing official silicone plastic case and probably it is due to interior house humidity and temperature difference. Does this cause any problem to hardware or should I check something? It is working properly.

Apple does not make an official case for any MacBooks. I would take it off altogether and make sure the computer is entirely dry.

official silicone plastic case.

no idea what you’re referring to here as Apple doesn’t offer any sort of case for the MacBook.

But other than that - i see nothing to worry about.

My Macbook M3 2023 wears a protective case (I am not sure if I will continue to have the case after this incident…) that is recommended from the official reseller. In the red area was the condensation like humidity-water. I do not think that anything wrong happened with the side air vents, as I removed the case immediately and I dried the area with paper.



I think that the temperature difference made this condensation in the fake vertical vents of the case (there are no air vents on the lower case - only at sides). If this is the reason, it is insane for me.



Have you ever heard something similar? I do not want to loose the protection of the case…

So it’s an UN-official (3rd party) case. Fair enough.

I still don’t see a problem; moisture in the indicated location would be on the exterior of the Mac shell where there’s no ventilation etc.
