Would a laptop operate in space?

So basically if an astronaut went outside the ship for a spacewalk, could they take the laptop out or are there consequences of the temperature and vacuum that would cause it to malfunction?

If one was built properly, yes. But the average consumer grade laptop would have serious issues. For instance, the liquid crystal display (LCD) would freeze solid. The hard drive bearings would vacuum weld. Plastics would outgas and become brittle. So, not good.
