Laptops are an
electronic staple these days for everyone whether it’s office or home. From
students to corporate executives, laptops have become an essential item in everyone’s
life. Many people don’t even have a desktop computer at home because carrying a
laptop is much more convenient. So if you are thinking of getting a new laptop
or already have one and want to use it more efficiently, here are some tips for
you to follow:
1.
Battery
This
is one of the fundamentally crucial things you need to ensure is working fine
with your laptop. It is because of a good and stable battery that a laptop can
work fine even when it is not plugged in. Whenever you are buying a laptop, always
see what its battery life is. Battery life is the amount of time your laptop
can work without being plugged in until its next recharge. Always make sure you
charge your battery everyday till its full capacity. As soon as you see the
battery is 20% or lower, plug your charger in. You shouldn’t turn your laptop on and off many
times in a short amount of time, this can affect your laptop’s battery
adversely.
2.
Screen
Always
use a screensaver so that your laptop doesn’t waste its energy and battery
life. This doesn’t necessarily harm the laptop but it helps in ensuring a
longer battery life. You can also put the laptop on ‘sleep mode’ by setting its
timer when your laptop is idle for a certain amount of time. Clean your laptop
screen and keyboard (preferably when it’s turned off) with a dry cloth or one
of those special air sprays that are made to clean keyboards. Lower the screen brightness
to conserve more battery life.
3.
Protect it
from overheating
One
of the things many laptop users don’t give much focus on is the overheating of
the laptop. Make sure your laptop is not placed on the wrong kind of surface
that makes it hard for the heat it generates to dissipate. You can always get a good laptop mat that
helps it to remain cool and regulates the flow of heat. Never leave your laptop
on places like blankets, couches or plastic surfaces etc for too long as they
can make it go super hot.
4.
Laptop bag
If
you are always out and about, a good laptop bag will always come in handy. Get
a laptop bag that is strong and can carry your laptop easily around wherever
you go. Typically, each model comes with its own accessories and laptop bags
are always there to accompany it because they are made according to the size of
the model so you should have no problems in finding one.
5.
Hardware
If you
want to upgrade your hardware like RAM or HDD, always go to the manufacturer of
the laptop and get it done rather than unreliable computer shops that can rip
you off. If you are good with gadgets, you can buy the hardware and install it
yourself.
