Default Hot weather--storing computer

We will be going on a brief 2-day trip.

I intended to take my Inspiron 2200.

However, one of the days we will be in an outdoor area. The temperature will
be 95 degrees F.

The computer will be in a case either in the trunk or backseat of my car. Is
this dangerous for the computer??

(If so, I can just leave the computer at home)

Trunk is the way to go. Cooler and less likely to be noticed.

Heat no problem while stored. It'd have to get VERY hot in order to
damage it.

If the computer isn't an absolute necessity, leave it at home.

Why take chances!

It can actually be a nice change of pace to be without a computer for a couple
of days... Ben Myers

Would enjoy it very much. Sadly, life as a manager is not
so simple anymore. Need to keep in touch with the office,
via pager, cell and laptop. Other people's livelihoods are
at stake.

Well, I just was reading about the care and use of, Lithium ion batteries.

The excessive heat will shorten the life of the battery if that is the type
you have.
"Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car."
This would go for cell phones as well......anyway.....

Thanks for all the responses.
We took our brief vacation and left our computer home. No withdrawal
symptoms either, although it was good to get back and boot up again.

Taking a week-long vacation at the end of this month and will leave computer
home again!
