How long before I turn it on

I just order my new Macs!! I went with iMac 24-inch 2.8ghz for myself and ordered 13.3 2.4 ghz MacBook for my wife. According to Fedex they should arrive tomorrow. How long should I let them sit out and warm up to room temp. before I can turn them on and rock n' roll!!?? I live in Idaho with the current temps. being around 50 degrees in the day.

50º isn't really cold enough IMO to cause any significant issues re condensation. It was colder than that when mine arrived and I turned it on right away


well.. almost, I took 2-3 minutes to install ram plus time to get it out of the box

It's only a problem when it's been stored around freezing temperatures. Otherwise fire that baby up!

I had mine up in probably 20 mins. How could I wait, given the wait time for it to get from California to Kansas!?! Had no problems and it was a relatively cold day - mid 30s.

After you've got it unboxed, setup and plugged in ... sit back, take a deep breath, and then ....







go for it.

You could always use a hair dryer to warm them up if you think they are too cold LOL
