6 Tips for keeping your laptop Healthy
For many Estate Agents your laptop is crucial for your day to
day doings from checking emails to socialising with friends but how
can you keep your laptop happy and healthy with the constant
usage?
- Clean it up – this works for both laptop
and desktop, giving it a thorough cleaning will extend its life.
Back up all your important data on an external hard drive or
portable flash drive, empty your trash and clear out any programs
you don’t use as well as removing unused desktop icons. This
will free up more space allowing your laptop to work
faster.
- Shut down properly – before shutting
down remember to close all open programs. Don’t just close
the lid, shutting your laptop down will help it stay cool.
- Protect it – laptops are meant to be
transported but ensure you keep it safe in a padded case.
- Avoid spills – liquids aren’t your
computers friend. If your laptop comes into contact with water be
sure to dry it immediately. If you do have a spillage take out the
battery, dry it off as much as possible and give it time to dry off
completely before trying to reboot it.
- Keep it cool – it’s not just
liquid your laptop hates, heat and cold are also its enemy. Both
hot and cold temperatures will suck out the battery life as well as
cause damage to the internal parts. Also ensure your laptop can
always breath, keep the fan unblocked which will allow it to cool
down.
- Use the right cleaning products – you
can’t just use any old household cleaner to polish off your
laptop. Avoid using any household cleaners as they may strip off
the LCD’s protective coating
Use a soft cloth to wipe down the screen and keyboard, avoid
using anything that could scratch the screen like towels.
Follow these 6 tips and your laptop should stay healthy and
happy for a long time.
