From the Tech Department
Cold weather can impact your iPad's performance and integrity. To avoid potential damage, it is strongly advised not to leave your computer in your car.
Some of the reasons include:
Battery performance: Cold weather can make iPad batteries drain faster and may even prevent them from working properly.
Condensation: When a cold iPad is moved to a warmer place, moisture can form inside it, which might damage the parts.
Hard drive issues: If an iPad has a hard drive, very cold temperatures can make it harder for the drive to spin and work properly.
Screen problems: The screen of iPads can become slow to respond or might even freeze up in cold conditions.
Over all, keeping iPads warm helps them work better.
Chess Club will meet on the following Mondays: Jan.13 and Feb. 10 from 3:20-4:20 p.m.
