6 Tips To Keep Your Laptop in top condition


There are more chances that you damage your laptop to a desktop PC, and laptops are more difficult and more expensive to repair. So follow these tips to care for it.

1. Keep the battery cool: Avoid heat and use the battery as possible. If you use connected to the wall for a time, turn off or suspend the laptop, remove the battery and work without it.

2. Be careful with food and drink: If you spill coffee on your laptop keyboard this may cause a short circuit on the motherboard. (I keep my cup of tea as far as possible from the electronics).

3. When working at your desk, connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse: This protects things far more valuable than your laptop, your arms, hands and eyes. It is impossible to create an appropriate work environment and ergonomic with a small keyboard connected to a small monitor.

4. When traveling, find the right carrying case and pack the laptop properly: Depending on your preference, look for a carrying case, backpack or bag with a padded section designed especially for a laptop.

5. Clean the keyboard the right way: Turn off the PC. Keep it open while the inverted and gently shake the crumbs that fall off the keyboard. Then use a can of compressed air, available for a few dollars at any computer store, to blow what's left behind. (But first read the directions on the can).

6. Clean the screen when needed: Start with a dry micro-fiber cloth (can be purchased at computer stores and photography and also a spray to clean laptop). Scrub using a circular motion. Do it gently, but apply a little pressure on the spots.

If necessary, make your own cleaning solution by mixing distilled water in a bottle (make sure it is distilled) and white vinegar in equal portions. Make sure your laptop is off. Spray this mixture lightly on the micro fiber cloth, not the monitor. Rub as stated above and wait 10 minutes before turning on the notebook.
