I've had two MacBook Pros die in the Amazon rainforest due to humidity. I think the fans pull in humid air and that the water gets stuck. My brother has had an M1 Air for about 2.5 years in the jungle with no issues whatsoever. Also since there is no power grid, it's good to have more battery life (sometimes it rains for days).

If anyone reads this, any suggestions on how to make electronics last longer in such a humid environment? I've been thinking about building some sort of dry box with silica gel but I'm not really sure how... And to use an external monitor instead of the built in one...
