Techlnology - Computer - Today's technological developments grow so fast and are increasingly difficult to predict, in just a matter of years, various creations and discoveries immediately color our activities until they are able to fulfill most of our daily needs. One of them is a computer /laptop which is also an inseparable thing in it.
However, the use of laptops/computers that do not comply with the instructions for use is often a crucial problem whose handling is rarely known by users, and this is of course a special concern for computer angels out there who voluntarily want to share knowledge about ways and tips to maintain laptops/computers. Your computer can be durable and long-lasting.
OK, without further ado, here are 13 effective tips to ensure that your laptop/computer is durable and long-lasting which we quoted from https://blogger-sidrap.blogspot.com :
1. Don't play heavy games for too long.
Continuously playing heavy games is the most common cause of laptop damage. If you just play Farm Frenzy, you want to play until your eyes start to cry, there's no problem. The problem is if you use it to play heavy games, such as GTA V, Watch Dogs, etc. for long periods of time. I have limited specs, I'm forced to play heavy games, it takes a long time to play. Poor laptop. So, what happened? The laptop will overheat. Where if this is allowed to continue to happen, it will cause damage to the laptop hardware.
2. Keep it away from anything wet.
Laptops are electronic items. So yes, we are very anti-water, especially water that contains minerals. The problem is that if it is exposed to water that contains minerals, it will corrode certain parts. If there is a lot of corrosion, your laptop will be damaged. The serviceman will raise his hand. Therefore, when using a laptop, keep it away from 'wet' items. I'm afraid that the wet water will spill, hit the laptop, and the water will get into the inside. It looks trivial but is very dangerous for the condition of the laptop.
3. Don't use it on a mattress.
This is a habit for many people. Placing a laptop on a mattress while in use can hinder air circulation inside the laptop. As a result, the internal hardware will overheat and as I said earlier, it could result in burnt out. That's because when you use your laptop on a mattress or in places that are not flat (which prevents air from escaping), the hot air produced by the laptop cannot escape and interferes with the performance of the laptop's hardware itself and can damage the hardware. damaged.
I don't know how to avoid using it on the mattress permanently. Because I myself also like this. The thought of "just once in a while" becomes my grip every time I use the laptop on the bed. But if this "one-time problem" happens repeatedly it will also damage the laptop.
4. Don't put heavy items on the laptop.
Some people are used to putting items on laptops that are idle. Starting from paper, pencils, books, cellphones, tablets, etc. The habit of storing things, especially heavy ones, means you will have to deal with heavy things later. Most likely what is damaged is the screen. If you frequently put heavy items, your desktop will change to a dark theme.
If you've changed it to dark themes, return it to the expensive default. The costs vary, depending on the laptop brand. If the MacBook is damaged, that's fine. If the work is easy, it's better to just buy a local netbook, which costs 700 thousand.
5. Don't move the laptop while it's on
Without realizing it, we are used to moving laptops with the condition still on. Usually we do this when we want to show something to someone, for example showing the results of our work to a boss who is quite close. So, why can't it be like this? If the laptop is on, the hard disk will definitely be on too. The hard disk is spinning. So, when the hard disk disk rotates, if you move it, the disk will definitely change its tilt.
And of course there will be scratches on the hard disk disk. As a result, the hard disk will experience bad sectors, namely a significant decrease in read/write speed. All processes will be slow. And if you do things like that regularly, then it's just a matter of time before your laptop gets damaged.
6. Clean the laptop screen regularly.
Apart from the interior, the screen also needs to be cleaned. The thing is, when you use a laptop, one of the things we look at the most is the screen. It's impossible for us to use a laptop, not focus on the screen but instead focus on something else, the power button for example. If the screen is dirty, our work will definitely not be comfortable. Even if the dust on the screen doesn't colonize, it still needs to be cleaned. The way to do this is to wipe the screen, just use a tissue, a regular tissue or a wet tissue, not another tissue.
Apart from making it comfortable to look at, cleaning the screen prevents dust from getting lost every day. There might even be spots on the screen and that will interfere with use. When it comes to cleaning your laptop screen, it's best to clean it at least once a week. But if it hasn't been a week and your laptop screen is already dusty, just clean it with a wet tissue.
7. Don't browse and download carelessly.
Everyone hates viruses or malware. What is called a virus is definitely annoying, depending on the level of intent of the creator. If it's just for fun, it's not that dangerous. But what if the intention was to rob? It's like a virus that locks and makes all files captive and asks for a certain amount of money if you want to unlock it.
It turns out that the viruses on the computer mostly come from obscure sites that we access. The site will transfer files (viruses) to visitors' computers invisibly. For this reason, every time you surf the internet, make sure the antivirus is on and can be used. This antivirus will warn us if the site we want to access is dangerous. Even if we continue, the antivirus will prevent the magical download.
8. Don't let the battery reach 0%
I said above, use a laptop like normal people use it. If people use a laptop that is not normal, they will usually avoid shutting it down before the battery reaches 0%. This should not become a tradition that we continue to do. Using the laptop until it turns off at 0% will reduce battery life. What used to be able to last up to 4 hours, due to frequent use it only lasts up to 1 hour. It also interferes with work later. Avoid using a laptop until 0%. Try to turn it off immediately before the battery power reaches 20%, so that the battery lasts longer.
9. Pay attention to laptop temperature.
Anything that is connected to electricity will definitely increase the temperature. Likewise with laptops. If the laptop is used for a short time, the laptop engine (hardware) will start to heat up. The longer it gets hotter, the more it rumbles. The nominal laptop temperature depends on the situation and conditions. How to use it, place it on a mattress or on a fan that is lying on. Laptop is used for Photoshop or just Ms. Paint. Used to play Virtua Cop or play GTA IV.
It's up to you what you want to use the laptop for and where you put it. The important thing is, don't let the laptop temperature get hotter than usual, or it might feel very hot. If it's like this, it's better to just turn it off straight away. I'm afraid that if I leave it, the hardware will burn, because of that heat.
10. Keep away from sunlight.
Not only laptops, it is actually not recommended to use all electronic devices under hot sunlight, especially during the day. The reason is clear, so as not to damage the hardware. Look, electronic devices obviously contain electrons, electric current, and definitely have a temperature (can increase the temperature). So, if the device itself already contains heat, what if you add heat from outside? Moreover, sunlight?
The sunlight was fierce. Even human skin can be damaged by too much sunlight. Especially laptops. So, avoid direct sunlight. For example, this is in a wifi corner, or anywhere in the open. The place we want to sit is exposed to sunlight. My advice is it's better to just sit somewhere else.
11. Keep away from food and drink.
It's best to play while snacking on your laptop. It's not wrong. But if you eat snacks, be careful, don't make a mess. It is feared that the snack crumbs that resulted from the failure to bite will get between the keyboards. Even though this isn't that big of a problem, it's still annoying. Yes, if it's a key that's rarely used, like F6, "`", or a key that has a spare like shift, ctrl, and alt.
What if it was the letter keys that were hit? Quite annoying. We will be bothered by copying and pasting letters that cannot be pressed from other places. Therefore, it is better for you to use a keyboard protector to protect the keyboard on your laptop so that if your laptop comes into contact with food, your keyboard can still be safe and protected so that you can type comfortably on the keyboard.
12. Install only the necessary software.
Sometimes, large storage makes us forget the purpose of buying a laptop. Those who initially bought a laptop were used to learn programming, where the software only needed to code websites, for example a web server, IDE, browser, and several others. Since there is still a lot of storage remaining, it can be a mistake. Install applications that are not important. Not very important, but installed. Only used once, after the installation process. After that it was never used again, or even forgotten.
This application will burden the running process. As a result, when we run an application, whatever it is, it will feel slower. For this reason, from now on delete all applications that we rarely use, that we don't need.
13. Limit Startup Applications Startup applications
, running applications, start automatically when the PC boots and enters Windows. This startup feature can sometimes improve the UX. But it can also affect laptop performance. Especially if the specs are mediocre. Usually, these startup applications are invisible, but run in the background. This will speed up the process of opening the application. But on the other hand, the boot process will be burdensome and will take a little longer than usual. Yes, it takes a while, because it is accompanied by opening a startup application. And usually there is not just one startup application, of course the process is carried out together.
Hopefully this is useful...
