Laptops are the hottest gadgets available today. A person is
virtually handicapped without a laptop by his side, and laptop provides
the greatest advantage of being mobile and portable, enabling us to
complete our work regardless of where we are. Laptops are very sensitive
and once damaged, can be really costly to repair. It is thus natural
that we should take care of our laptops and see to it that there is no
harm in any way. As compared to desktop computers, laptops are much more
sensitive and easily damageable. Some simple yet effective laptop
maintenance tips are as follows:
1. Dusting: Your
laptop should be kept free of dust. Daily, as you keep your laptop
aside and go to sleep, dust accumulates over it overnight and if dust
enters inside the keypad, it becomes really troublesome. Thus, you
should take a dry cloth and clean the dust from the surface, after which
you should use a blower to blow out dust which has entered inside.
2. Avoid liquids and food:
It is advisable to avoid having food while using the laptop, or while
you are near the laptop. This is for the simple reason that if the
liquid seeps inside, various forms of damages can occur such as loss of
monitor display.
3. Optimum temperature conditions:
Laptops get heated really fast, especially when they are being charged
while in use. Thus, keeping them in direct view of the sunlight or in
the kitchen near the stove should be avoided.
4. Defragment: Laptop
cleaning is not only about the outside dusting, it is also dependant on
how you maintain the internal functioning. Daily, when you are done
with your work, at least defrag your hard drives once.
5. Protect against viruses –
Make sure that you have a good antivirus installed so as to protect
your PC from malicious agents such as virus, Trojan, malware etc. You
should take care to run an antivirus scan from time to time.

What should I do if my laptop is overheating and how to fix lags while using intensive graphics?
Do not expose the battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power.
