[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1256846, member: 97843"] Is storage temp really relevant to anything when they are that high? I don't even know of a place that gets that hot in the US. There are many reasons as to why the specs are different. Apple can set it lower to reduce problems down the road, because relistically, you'd have to be a real idiot to store a computer(or any other electronic device for that matter) anywhere where temperatures will stay at a constant 114-140F. I don't know if you've ever taken an insiron apart, but it's got many large open spaces inside, couple that with the fact that it has a hard plastic, and you can see why it is capable of being stored in higher temps when compared to a Macbook/Pro that is absolutely packed inside, with no open space for random heat to dissipate. I also am going to assume your battery isn't a LiPo pack. Do you know what happens to those when you subject them heat? BOOM! The comparison itself isn't that comparable to be honest. The closest comparison would be an HP Envy...which is notorious for overheating without even exceeding it's max temp rating. Just saying. Just because one manufacturer sets their specs at one level, doesn't mean everyone has to follow. [/QUOTE]
