The Good News
A little care goes a long way. Below are 10 proven laptop care tips that can help your laptop last for years — whether it’s a brand-new laptop or a refurbished laptop from trusted sellers like RNDInfoserve.
1. Keep It Clean – Inside and Out
Dust is the silent killer of laptops.
How to Clean:
- Wipe the screen and keyboard weekly with a microfiber cloth.
- Clean dust from vents and fans using a soft brush or compressed air.
- Avoid eating and drinking near the laptop.
Why it matters: Dust ➝ Overheating ➝ Sluggish performance
Pro Tip: If you live in dust-prone cities like Chennai or Bangalore, clean more frequently.
2. Don’t Ignore Software Updates
Yes, updates are annoying. But skipping them?
Why It’s Crucial:
- Fix bugs
- Patch security holes
- Improve performance
Update regularly:
- Operating system (Windows/macOS/Linux)
- Drivers (especially graphics/network)
- Antivirus software
Bonus Tip: Schedule updates during off-hours to avoid interruptions.
3. Use a Cooling Pad – Especially in Indian Weather
Indian summers are brutal — for you and your laptop.
Why You Need It:
- Regulates internal temperature
- Prevents thermal damage
- Enhances performance
Think of it as an AC for your laptop. Would you go without AC in summer?
Available at local Chennai stores or online.
4. Charge Smart, Not Hard
Charging to 100% or keeping it plugged in 24/7 is harmful.
Battery Care Basics:
- Maintain 40% to 80% battery range
- Avoid deep discharges
- Use original chargers
Real Example: A duplicate charger once fried a friend’s motherboard in 3 months.
5. Uninstall What You Don’t Use
Your system likely has bloatware — apps you never use.
What to Do:
- Remove free trials, duplicates, unknown software
- Use Revo Uninstaller or Windows built-in tools
Less junk = More speed.
6. Backup, Backup, Backup
You’ll regret skipping this step… after a crash.
Backup Options:
- Google Drive, OneDrive, or external hard drives
- Set weekly or monthly reminders
Pro Tip: RNDInfoserve customers get help setting up backups for refurbished laptops.
7. Run Monthly Malware Scans
Viruses = Slowdowns + Privacy risks
What to Use:
- Windows Defender
- Malwarebytes (free version works for monthly scans)
Analogy: Antivirus is your digital bodyguard.
8. Don’t Block the Vents
Using your laptop on a bed or pillow? You're suffocating it.
The Fix:
- Use a flat, hard surface
- Get a laptop stand
Real Case: One student client had to replace her fan after 6 months of using it on a cushion.
9. Handle With Care
Sounds basic, but we see broken hinges all the time.
Proper Handling:
- Close the lid gently
- Don’t carry it by the screen
- Use a padded laptop bag for transport
