Tips to Take Care of Your Notebook

1. Never treating your notebook like a desktop. Do not use the notebook for hours like a desktop, even if both of them have the same specifications. The desktop computer is designed for hours of using but notebook is for mobile using so for office works just use the desktop computer.

2. To have a lasting notebook, make sure that the notebook is always safe from the heat and the air flow is in good condition because the notebook is vulnerable to dust and heat, many problems that occur are caused by the heat. Never put your notebook on a soft surface, such as your bed, a pile of clothes, or on your legs! A bed can “sink” a little when something like a notebook is on it, restricting air flow from the vent to the outside, which would cause your notebook to overheat and crash, possibly damaging components. Never put a notebook on your legs, either, because, over time, the notebook can get VERY hot and can potentially burn your legs. There is a special notebook table in my country, it designed by some creative people, the table will make you work more comfortable with notebook on your lap. The table is like a pillow but it has a hard surface to put the notebook on and it has many color types.

3. To have a long lasting notebook battery and stable on the electricity consumption, it would be better if you unplug the batery.So that the battery is not charged by the electricity all the time. Do not force the battery until it really empty. If you find that the battery is almost empty, you have to charge it quick and charge the battery when the notebook is in off condition you can see it from the indicator light.

4. Use Notebook cover or notebook bag to protect your notebook. Do not carry so many stuffs in your notebook bag, it could caused a damage on the LCD. I found a scratch on mine because of this.

5. Use only software that save from the virus like Linux or use the really good antivirus.


6. Don’t spill your drinks! If you’re at a cafe or at home and you have a drink nearby and your spill it and it lands all over your notebook, power it off immediately! Take the AC adapter out (as well as the battery), get a cloth or paper towels and get as much liquid out as you can. Then, turn the computer over and let the rest of the liquid drip out for about 24 hours. During this process you should call your computer manufacturer and let them know what happened and if there is any way you can salvage it without much damage, such as a fried motherboard or rusted parts. Don’t be surprised if they ask you to send it in so they can look at it and make the necessary repairs.

7. Keep very carefully the master programs in the notebook, it's hard to find the drivers if you lost the programs. And always check the notebook specification before you buy one. (According to your need and budget)
