Unfortunately, the laptop is one of the most expensive and, at the same time, most expensive electronic consumer devices. A laptop is a set of frequently used miniature hardware components that can easily break.
When a laptop breaks, it is real trouble because the parts are difficult to repair and their replacement is often very expensive.
The life of a laptop certainly depends on luck, the quality of the model and, above all, on the way it is used by its owner.
In this article, we see 5 important things not to do to avoid breaking your computer or to make it last a short time before it is completely ruined .
1) First of all you must avoid transforming the PC into an oven .
All computers generate heat because a lot of energy is released from its components.
For this reason, there are fans that cool the processor and power supply.
On laptops the fans must blow air outside from some openings that must be left free otherwise the temperature would rise as in a closed oven, up to damage the electronic components.
Laptops don't like to overheat, and in fact, in some cases, they turn off automatically if the heat rises too much.

2) Shake the computer too much
It is understood that a laptop, by definition, is carried around, in a backpack or bag, going to work or school or to other places.
It is therefore difficult to avoid shaking the computer, which in fact is designed not to break in the case of sudden movements (unless you fall on the ground).
However, what distinguishes a durable laptop from a more fragile one is the fact that the disk is a classic hard disk or an SSD, solid state drive.
It should be avoided, in computers with traditional hard disk that use moving parts, to shake or shake it when it is in activity, that is when the computer is turned on.
Generally speaking, treating your laptop as if it were a child, without rapid movements, will certainly do you good.
5) Take the notebook in a bag without padding
A Notebook does not like to be shaken, therefore, in order to reconnect to the previous point, one must avoid carrying it by motorbike or car without being tied tightly in the bag or backpack.
Buying a good ergonomic and protective bag is essential to keep your computer safe from bumps or sudden movements.
Unfortunately, there are cheaper bags that protect only the sides and not the top or bottom leaving the computer vulnerable to shocks.
On the bag it is better not to save too much.
4) Use the screen as a handle
Taking the laptop off the screen is the best way to break it.
Even the most expensive and tough computers can succumb to this seemingly innocent abuse.
If the laptop is closed, the best way to take it is to grab it like a book or a tray, if instead it is open you must always take it with two hands and not from the monitor which can be damaged and which is tied to the body by rather fragile hinges.
5) Twist the cables
If the cables connected to the computer are bent in extreme ways, they will be damaged.
Above all, we talk about the power cable which can be an expensive component to replace if it breaks.
Furthermore, the connection of the power cable is a piece of plastic that is very easy to break when it folds tightly on itself.
In summary, not only to avoid sudden breakages but also to make the laptop last for a long time, just a few small tricks are enough
Then of course, if the computer should fall into the pool or from the balcony, there is very little to do on these accidents.
