I was using mine outside in the teens in January.  It's a four year old 
Compaq.  Worked fine.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Laptop Operating Temperature


I have finally broken down and ordered a laptop from Gateway today.
Astronomy is one of the uses I would put it to. In the process of
verifying that the order included all the features and components in the
quote, I just discovered the operating temperature only goes down to 41
degrees F and only as high as 95 degrees F. Yet I know amateurs use
laptops at night when it gets much colder than 41 degrees. Is this a
normal operating range for laptops? How real is the 41 degree lower limit?
