LAPTOPS- Safety Tips


Laptops are one of the most essential gadgets for businessmen these days. Businessmen carry

out their each and every business tasks with the help of laptops alone. Hence they need a good

company laptop with which they can work for long periods without any interruption. Laptops

need to be maintained properly for good usage. What are the things that we need to keep in

mind while using laptop? How to use a laptop smoothly so that it lives longer? Let us see them in

detail.

Laptop batteries: This is the first thing that gets damaged in any laptop. But it is entirely in

our own hands to ensure the safety of our laptop by avoiding the damages that happen to the

laptop. Battery of the laptop needs to be charged and discharged at regular intervals. If you

overcharge the battery, it will damage the battery and it will lose its strength very quickly. It is

always advisable to use the laptop after charging the battery. Don't use the laptop while it is still

getting charged, because that will reduce its battery life.

Always keep the laptop in a clean and dry place. This is very important because the dust

and moisture are the biggest enemies of laptops. If the dust and water get into the  laptop

motherboards, it will damage the laptop completely and you need to take it to the person who

knows to repair it. So always ensure that you keep it in a dry place.

Use a clean piece of cloth to wipe the screen of your laptop. Dust gets gathered on the screen

and that makes it look blurred. So wiping it with a clean cloth is the best solution for the

problem. That will make the laptop look completely new again. This is very important if you want

to work with it without getting any interruptions in the middle while you are working. Wipe even

the back cover of the laptop also with a clean piece of cloth.

Always use a laptop cooler for keeping it cool. If you are performing several tasks at the same

time on your laptop such as listening to the music, checking the mail and typing etc, that will

affect the performance of the laptop when it gets overheated. So using a good laptop cooler will

help you to solve that problem. These days, every laptop comes with cooling system inside it, but

sometimes still those arrangements may seem insufficient and we need to depend on additional

coolers for keeping it cool.

Finally, any laptop needs to be maintained properly in terms of the memory used in them.

Organize the components of different local disks properly and make separate folders for

different types of files. That will help you to keep your laptop in the best condition. Usually a

laptop may have different types of files like word files, PowerPoint files and spreadsheet files

etc. all these files should be kept in separate folders and that makes it easy for you to search the

particular file that you need.

On March 12, 1989 he outlined a way to easily access files on linked computers, paving the way for a global phenomenon that has touched the lives of billions of people. The WWW is both praised & reviled but it has unmistakably changed how we communicate & that can not be denied..
The www has brought to us exposure and improvement in knowledge..
With the World wide web, streaming of videos and pictures emerged. Now we can sell and purchase online, banking has been made an easy task, whereby we can check our financial accounts and make transactions.. Softwares and files are available online.
