As long as the laptop is already warm before you take it outdoors then it should be fine.

You will usually only have issues when starting up a frozen cold laptop. You need to let it thaw out to room temperature before even turning it on to avoid condensation.

Hard drives can have issues spinning up in sub zero temps. Laptops like Toughbooks come with hard drive heaters to overcome this. If you have an SSD then it wont be a problem since theres no moving parts.

Also LCD panels can freeze, after all the L stands for liquid. You can make a shelter out of storage tubs to help keep the heat in and the wind out.
