Apparently 7 of these trivial things make your laptop a long life!

For some people, using a laptop for up to 10 years is old-fashioned, because the specifications of laptops are increasing every year. There are many people who often change their laptop as needed.

But there are many of our friends out there hoping that the laptop that he bought with difficulty can live long. Like college students who use their father's used laptops, or use laptops from high school for the purposes of college assignments to thesis, and so on.

There are many ways that our laptop is not easily damaged and can continue to accompany our educational and career trips. Here are the trivial things we can do to make our laptop more durable.

1. Don't let the laptop die because it runs out of battery

Often use a laptop until the battery is dying? Or you are among those who will stop playing a laptop if the laptop is off or 0% battery power? Please this time you have to start stopping like that.

Laptop batteries that are often left to drop will shorten the life of the battery, so that later your battery will become "leaky" (it can't turn on unless it must always be connected to electricity) and affect the life of your laptop.

2. Don't put heavy objects on it

Often as a boarding house, we tidy up the rooms as effectively as possible so that many of our things stack into several levels to save more space.

But what if your laptop puts it at the bottom of the stack of textbooks? No! This can damage the laptop screen. A maximum of 1 ledger that you put on it.

3. Stop using a laptop on the mattress

If you are comfortable with activities on the bed with your favorite laptop, then use a laptop mat. This is so that air circulation on the bottom of the laptop remains good (does not become hot). Laptops that are too hot will shorten the life of the laptop. If you are as cool as a writer (hehe), use a flat base like a folding table or a small board.

4. Clean the keyboard

Do you often see a dusty keyboard? Cleaning dust on the keyboard is quite inconvenient, especially if you live in an unclean environment, almost every day your keyboard will be dusty even if it's only thin. Buy and use keyboad coating, it is very effective in preventing dust from entering. The price is also not expensive, starting from IDR 10,000. You can get it at a computer accessories shop around you.

5. Install two antiviruses on the laptop

Antivirus is an initial defense that serves to deal with viruses from external devices, such as flashdisk. One that is popularly used is SMADAV, an artificial antivirus for the nation's children. Furthermore, your laptop also needs an antivirus that can detect viruses from various sites and applications that you install.

There are many free antiviruses that you can download on the internet. Choose a brand that is trusted from the official site, because you still have to be careful there is a virus that slips in an antivirus application!

6. Do not carelessly install foreign applications

Like the previous point, viruses are scattered everywhere. Generally viruses are spread by the makers on negative sites, or even attached to an additional application from the application that the potential victim wants to install.

Actually these viruses do not directly damage your laptop, but they will make your laptop become heavy, some applications cannot be used and so on. Therefore, make sure you don't arbitrarily install foreign applications from developers whose reputation is doubtful.

7. Regularly tidy up files in laptop storage

It's not just your boarding room that needs cleaning, but the unused files also need to be removed from your laptop's memory. Avoid storing double files, delete empty folders, junk in download folders, applications that are no longer used, and so on. And at least once a month do scanning using antivirus so that your laptop is safe.

Tidying up laptop files doesn't just make your laptop more organized, it also avoids your laptop being heavy because it's too much "junk". So if one day your laptop is suddenly heavy or slow response you can more easily distinguish whether it's because of too much junk files or because of a hard disk damage.

Besides we also need to take care of our laptops from fatal things, like slamming, falling into the water, stepping on, etc. If we are good at caring for a laptop, it is not impossible that the laptop will be more than 10 years old. So, how many years is your laptop age?
