Keeping your laptop looking as good as new can be tricky. We tend to be on the move most of the time, working from different locations and in different types of environment. We subject our devices to the dirt in the atmosphere surrounding us and of course, if we get into the habit of eating while we work, those dreaded crumbs beneath the keyboard are all too common! At the end of the day your laptop can’t go home, take a shower and cleanse itself, so we need to take some time out to give it a bit of a make over once in a while. Laptop makeover: 5 ways to extend its useful life No matter how hard you try or how meticulously you care for it, your notebook is going to show signs of age over time. Keycaps wear down and get that off-putting, shiny-plastic look. Dirt, crumbs, and gunk get stuck in the keyboard and other crevices, while lint and dust build up in virtually every crack, seam and open port. Don’t forget those inevitable scratches and nicks, either. Give your laptop/netbook the treat it deserves with a good clean. Imagine getting that ‘like new’ feeling about your trusted device that you can’t be without. Here’s a tutorial to help a little more.

Windows will warn you when your battery reaches extremely low capacity levels, but you can also keep your own tabs on its capacity. Looking after your electronic devices really is a key factor in their performance, treat them kindly and they will thank you for it. Providing you with reliable usage, a pleasant device to work from and the reduction in spending money on a new laptop too prematurely. Go grab that can of compressed air. There’s no excuse it works for all brands and models from Acer through Toshiba (plus any others that come after the letter ‘T’). Happy cleaning!
