Here are general tips on th use of laptops:

Thermal dissipation – Laptop cooling
Never use your laptop directly on a surface that prevents proper air flow, such as inside the laptop case, on a blanket or pillow. Check and see if your vents are not obstructed. Using a cooling pad can be good for your laptop.

Battery charge – Laptop autonomy
Discharge completely your battery at least once per month.

Security – Laptop tracking
Use the CyberAngel security solution to track your laptop in case it is stolen.

Viruses
It is not enough to have an antivirus program installed. We recommend that you update it at least once per week.

Windows Updates
Make sure that your computer downloads Window Updates periodicaly and frequently. This improves your operating system’s staibility and security.

Carrying
Always use an apropriate carrying bag when travelling, to enhance shock absorption. If you need to ship your laptop through a carrier like USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc…, always use packaging designed specifically for the transport of laptops.

Shocks
Because of they are designed to maximize mobility, laptops are prone to shocks. Turn your laptop OFF before you move your notebook from one place to another to prevent vibrations to the hard drive. If it is stabilized on a stand, make sure it is designed to absorb motion shock/vibrations.

Humidity
Laptops are very sensitive to humidity. Keep it away from liquid exposure as much as you can (water, wine, etc…).

Dust
Laptops are very sensitive to dust. Dont leave it on the floor, but that it is always high on a table, desk, stand, etc… Check vents frequently to see if they are not obstructed.
