Living in Costa Rica’s high humidity environment, you do need to be careful, not matter what computer you have.
The issue is when you let your system rest it gets cold enough moisture will collect on the cold metal surfaces. So every night your system gets wet!
So how do you over come this?
Setting up a warm storage bin to keep the system warm enough so the moisture doesn’t condense out of the air.

I’ve had to setup a few for some scientist. We used a heavy cooler which we installed a heating pad like this one [https://www.sunbeam.com/pain-relief/heating-pads/sunbeam-moist-dry-heat-heating-pad-light-blue/000731-500-000U.html|Sunbeam Moist / Dry Heat Heating Pad, Light Blue]. You don’t need to drill a hole to feed the cords through. So every night after you’ve shut the system down place your system into the cooler onto of the heating pad as the lowest setting (I used a few pieces of 2” square sticks to keep the system from direct contact with the blanket. Plug in the power cord if you need to recharge the battery that should do it. You might want to add a digital oven thermometer so you can monitor the internal cases temp.
