I just ordered an infrared sauna unlike traditional saunas these only get to about 140 f . I wonder if I could use a pc monitor or laptop in an environment like that Oh I know if it would work there normal life spans would be radical shortened but could I still expect a couple of hundred hrs life span instead of the normal several years. I am definitively not worried about voiding the warranty !
What is the imperious necessity of have a PC or phone inside a sauna? I don't understand young people who can´t live without a screen at their eyes.
I'd expect the humidity to be an issue long before the high temperature killed anything.
Look for something IP67 rated. I'd try using a tablet running a fast remote-desktop connection to an external PC.

Thanks for all the replies I will keep then in mind when this arrives in
about a month. I may just enjoy the sauna as is but wanted to know
if using a laptop was an option if I did get bored in there and at 70 years
of age I get bored rather easily.

I really enjoy saunas, and the sort of meditative state I get into. I've pretty much dialled in my internal clock so I'm just about happy with 15minutes.
Cut a rectangular hole, seal the panel display to the outside of the portal and just bring a wireless mouse / keyboard combo into the sauna. If / when that dies, replace it.
Unsure what the steam would do to the cooler panel display - fog it up? Start running down in streaks; leak into the innards?
If it's a big sauna, get a projector, project from the outside through a heated piece of glass (glue some resistors around the edges) onto one painted wall. If moisture drips down the projected-on surface - so what?
Finally - of course - add audio! I can see the post now - sauna subwoofer design.

Indeed!
It seems people of all ages have succumbed to "the glowing screen", and the need to be mentally wired to the world.
Unlike bellbottom pants and other "passing fads", that screen is like a form of permanant control to the weaker masses.
The masses will argue that "it keeps me in touch" with others or "it's helped bring people together"..... all justafiably good things....
When "in reality" it actually keeps people seperate, living in a "virtual world".
It's not natural.
Curiously, I wonder if the "benefit" of virtual living has any effect on the statistics of "the virus" as opposed to the 1918 version when people had no such "social seperations".
I'd definitely be concerned about battery temperature. Doesn't seem like the best idea in general as everything will probably end up overheating
Certainly "the virus" will push hard on any "tipping point" regarding living permanently within a virtual world.
Let's say it's possible to successfully trade stocks / futures for a living. Why ever come out?

I succumbed to heaters and neon glowing only.
