Having a laptop is more convenient for most active people than being tied to a desk
with an unportable computer. Students, novelists, salespeople and entrepreneurs rely
on their laptops to do their work or homework, stay in touch with friends, write
memos and analyze spreadsheets.
A good laptop can be as powerful as you need it to be. And that's why laptops are
more expensive (sometimes much more) than a desktop PC. Just look at the flyers
from office supply stores and electronic retailers to compare the pricing.
Tips for protecting your investment.
Because a laptop is expensive to replace, it's important that you know how to take
care of it. It's an investment that can pay for itself many times over.
Your laptop takes a lot of gentle abuse that you might not think about. Keep in mind
that if you have a laptop, you're likely taking it with you on plane rides, to a
restaurant, and on overnight trips and vacations. And chances are, you're plugging
in devices and switching media (DVD disc and flash drives) more often than you'd do
on a desktop. All the more reason to know how to take care of your trusty working
companion.
Here are some tips to help you do that. They're not just advice about not spilling hot
coffee or chips and drinks on your keyboard, or not tossing your laptop across
the room to a friend—many are suggestions that most of us wouldn't even think
about.

1. If you're going to travel, remove any CDs, DVDs and flash drives that
might be in your computer, and protect them properly. Also, turn the
laptop off—don't simply put it in sleep or standby mode. If you have an unfinished assignment you don't want to close, simply put it in hibernate mode.
2. Extreme temperature or temperature swings can have an effect on a
laptop. If you've just brought your laptop indoors from a very cold day, you
shouldn't turn it on until it has had a chance to warm up and reach room
temperature. That might take some time if it's been freezing outside.
3. A notebook's screen is the most fragile and a risk component, and it can
be cracked and damaged easily. Clean it only with approved solutions or
monitor wipes. Don't touch the screen with pens or any pointer that can
scratch the surface.
4. You shouldn't put a laptop close to appliances that generate a strong
magnetic field, such as televisions, large speakers and even some high-
tech refrigerators. You should even avoid putting your cellphone on top of
your laptop while both are on.
5. Keep the lid closed as often as you can, which helps to limit the amount
of dust that can settle on the keyboard, saves battery life and prevents
the keyboard from an accidental coffee spill—a leading cause of laptop
damage.
6. Laptops can overheat more easily than a desktop computer can. You
shouldn't set one on a blanket, pillow or other non-flat surface that could
prevent sufficient ventilation.
7. Be careful where you take your computer and set it down. Again, its
portability can work against it. You shouldn't take it to the beach and risk
getting sand into it. Same with using it on the kitchen counter, where it
could drop into a sink or on the floor. And even if it's NOT plugged in,
you shouldn't finish your spreadsheet while relaxing in the bathtub!
8. You should always carry it in a good-quality laptop bag or cushiony case
that provides protection against drops and jostles. You should also get
into the habit of never putting anything on top of it (newspapers, mail),
because if it's on the bottom of a pile, even heavier items—books,
backpacks, etc.—could also get piled on.
9. Set up passwords for access to your laptop (for family members who
might also use it). Make sure they do not use "password," "ABCD" or other
simple passwords any thief could guess, in case it's ever stolen.
10. Open a personal virtual private network (VPN) account and use it as often
as you can in airports, hotels and hotspots. In other
words, anytime you're plugged in to free Wi-Fi or strange networks. A VPN
reroutes your Internet connection to secure networks, where a hacker
cannot steal your data.
Following these simple tips you can keep your laptop running and working for years to
come and prevent you from having to spend your hard earn money for a replacement.
