Get a grip

Keep your laptop in hand by placing strips of anti-slip Safety Walk tape on its case. A small roll costs about P560.00 at you local computer store.

When you bring your laptop in from the chilly outdoors, don’t start it until it reaches room temperature. Otherwise, condensation could wreak havoc on its circuits.

Placing your notebook on a blanket or other soft surface, or running it inside its carrying case stifles ventilations and makes it overheat faster. Instead, put a pencil or similar object under the back edge to elevate your laptop; even half inch of space lets hot air flow away from the case. For serious overheating, pick up a laptop coolling pad for notebok which cost about P750.00.

To protect your notebook from liquid spills, use a plastic keyboard cover from Protect Keyboard Covers cost P1,400.00. It just might save you the cost of a new laptop.

Lowering the screen puts most notebooks into standby or hibernation mode when they’re running on batteries, but doing so might not put them in power-saving mode when they’re plugged in AC power.

Check the Power options setting in Window’s Display Properties to make sure that you’re conserving power: Right-click the desktop, select Properties, Screen Saver, Power, and set a duration under ‘System standby‘ and ‘System hibernates‘.
