There may be a difference if you’re actively working in cold weather, where the CPU is generating heat that keep the internal battery temperatures up.

My hands have historically never been happy doing fine motor work at those temperatures.

Even though I’ve acclimated to doing outdoor work in colder and wetter conditions, I’m having trouble believing people are actually working on their laptop while most of us would be wearing gloves.
