A few simple habits can add years to your laptop's life.
Keep it cool
Use the laptop on a hard, flat surface — not on a bed or pillow, which blocks the air vents. A cooling pad helps during long sessions.
Look after the battery
Avoid letting the battery drop to 0% regularly. If the laptop is always plugged in, check whether your brand offers a battery-care charging mode.
Keep it clean
Clean the keyboard and vents gently. Keep liquids away from the keyboard.
Update and back up
Install Windows and driver updates, and keep a backup of important files on an external drive or cloud storage.
Get a yearly check-up
A yearly cleaning and health check catches small problems early. Book a check-up.
