How can you take good care of your laptop computer?

Aside from cleaning your screen and dusting the keyboard, however, you'll need to take a few extra steps to maintain your laptop's health. By now, if you have a laptop you know not to spill stuff on it, right? Well, same goes for eating above it. It won’t hurt the laptop, but typing with crumbs underneath the keys is no fun. First of all, do not bump, shake or rapidly move your laptop. Meaning, do not put your laptop in your lap or on covers of your bed!!!! This is the easiest way how to say goodbye to your laptop in a matter of few months, if that. Actually, it is easy and cheap! Blows cool air into your laptop’s air intake, so the CPU gets cooler faster, also blows air onto other parts, which helps tremendously. Buy one of the kits for LCD screens, or just get distilled water and really good microfiber towel. Do not use paper towels or swiffer! You should not spray or use any chemicals on the screen because they have the glossy film on it, which is very sensitive to chemicals. Diluted rubbing alcohol or some degreaser, which is also diluted, gently apply with microfiber cloth and wipe off. Try keyboard covers, some can get used to it, some can’t. I use car wax or sealant on my laptop, makes it shiny, deep gloss, and bit more protected. I also have neoprene case, which except for the seams is water proof, I put that in my bag when I travel. The case is also squishy, so it kind of protects the little bumps from damaging the laptop.

I have many tips for dealing with a lazy co-workers. . Don’t let them distract you. Don’t spend your day focusing on the fact that your lazy co-worker is constantly checking Facebook, texting or snoring at the desk next to yours. Try to tune them out and focus on your work. “Human beings are funny that way,” says Robbins. “We will spend more time focusing on the fact that our colleague isn’t doing their work than it would take to just do it ourselves.” 2.) Don’t get caught up in the issue of fairness. Life isn’t fair. “People often say ‘it’s unfair that he gets away with doing nothing,’ but at the end of the day, it really doesn’t change anything,” says Robbins. “By pointing out that it’s not fair, we just make ourselves feel bad and the situation doesn’t change.” Instead, focus on being the best that you can be. 3.) Don’t let it affect your attitude. If you waste your time and energy on being angry or annoyed about your lazy colleague, your work performance may start slipping and you may be less pleasant to be around. A hostile colleague is just as bad as a lazy one. 4.) Don’t tattle. That might make you look like a apple polisher, so don’t do it. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t speak up. “This one is tricky,” says Robbins. “It depends on the situation and the boss. Some bosses might say, ‘Thanks for letting me know. I’ll investigate,’ while others may tell you, ‘It’s not your job to worry about your co-workers’ performance.’ It could make you look bad. But if you go to your boss and say, ‘I’m at a point where I can’t go any further with this project because I’m waiting for Bill to finish his part. What can we do about this?,’ it gets the point across without your seeming like a tattler.” If they explicitly ask you to review your co-workers’ performance, you should be honest, Robbins suggests.

It is important to take care of your laptop to keep it in good shape; prevention is always better than cure. There are a number of easy things that you can do to keep your laptop in great shape; following these easy steps will help to ensure that it lasts longer and will need less maintenance. As an added bonus, many of the steps will also maintain your laptop's speed.
1. Keep liquids away from your laptop. As tempting as it might be to drink coffee, soda, water or any other liquid near your laptop, accidents can happen all too easily. Spilled liquids may damage the internal components or cause electrical injury to the laptop. Short circuits can corrupt data or even permanently destroy parts. The solution is very simple: Keep your drinks away from your computer. Even if you're careful, someone else might bump into your desk or you. Or you can use a cup with a cover on it, so even if it does spill, the liquid doesn't go any where!
2. Having an available antivirus software would help. Even if you know what you download, it may contain a virus that can lead to a circuit error in your system hardware or slowness in the software.
3. Keep food away from your laptop. Don't eat over your laptop. The crumbs can go down between the keys in the keyboard and provide an invitation to small bugs. The crumbs can also irritate the circuitry. Worse, it makes the laptop look dirty if there are crumbs and food stains on it.
4. Always have clean hands when using your laptop. Clean hands make it easier to use your laptop touchpad and there will be less risk of leaving dirt and other stains on the computer. In addition, if you clean your hands before use, you will help reduce wear and tear on the coating of the laptop caused by contact with sweat and small particles that can act upon the laptop's exterior underneath your wrists and fingers.
5. Plug in accessory devices into their proper slots. Always look at the symbols on the laptop carefully before inserting devices. Jamming a phone line into an Ethernet port or vice versa could damage the sockets, making it impossible to use them again. It is very important to observe this step.
6. Insert drives into their slots carefully and at the correct angle. Pushing the wrong drive into a socket, or at an angle, or even upside down can jam it.

--Condition your battery. (Please see the "Conditioning and Charging the Battery, and Increasing -----Battery Life" section of this document for more information.)
--Replace the plastic bezel when you exchange drives.
Use a soft cotton cloth, such as a handkerchief, moistened with non-alkaline detergent to clean your computer. The Campus Computer Store recommends -- and sells -- Kensington's "Screen Guardian" cleaner for this purpose. Since different types of the "Screen Guardian" cleaner are available, make sure that you purchase the small spray bottle cleaner that is made especially for laptop computers, and anti-glare and polarized computer screens.
--Use a carrying case that provides good protection for your laptop, such as the backpack you received with it.
--Register your laptop with IBM in case it is lost or stolen, and also to receive upgrade notices.

Carry and store your laptop in a protective bag designed for that purpose.
Not only does it reduce exposure to dust, it protects the computer during transportation.
Look for a case that features a suspended compartment that serves to cushion the laptop.

When you shut your laptop, make sure there are no small items, such as a pencil or small ear-phones, on the keyboard. These can damage the display screen when shut; the screen will scratch if the item is rough. Close the lid gently and holding from the middle. Closing the lid using only one side causes pressure on that hinge, and over time can cause it to bend and snap. It can help you protect your laptop.
