Here, some effective tips are given which will help you to increase the life and performance of you laptop.

Many people have reported that their laptop is not performing well enough as that as when it was new. Some people are facing battery backup problem, some are facing system performance problem etc.

I was having a cooling system problem in my PC few days back. My pc's cooling fan stops working due to dust. That incident spurs me to write this article for you, so that you wouldn't have to face such problems.

TIPS TO KEEP LAPTOP HEALTHY

Avoid from dust: 
This is the very important factor to keep you laptop safe as my pc also gets affected with this reason only. Do not let dust enters inside your laptop i.e. do not put your laptop in dusty place. Better to pack you laptop in a case when it is not in use. Make a habit of cleaning you laptop regularly.

Shutdown laptop properly: 
I have seen many people are this much busy that they don't even have time to shutdown their laptop properly. Improper shutdown may leads to crash some system files from you laptop. So before shutting down your laptop make sure that all programs are completely closed. ( if you want to know which programs are still running on you laptop, then press ctrl+shift+esc and then click on application tab. You will get the list of programs that are still running. If the list is empty, that means no program is running in your laptop. You can simply end the process of that program from there).

keep away from water: 
Your laptop is not a living thing and hence it can live without water..haha.. Internal circuit of laptop comprises of many chips and I.C's which are very sensitive to water or moisture. Therefore, you have to keep water away from your laptop for their long life.

keep laptop fresh: 
Free up your laptop's memory as much as you can by deleting unwanted data. You can also store your data on cloud storage services like Google drive rather than saving it on your laptop. Clean up your temporary file on regular basis. ( to delete temporary file, press win+r then type %temp% and hit enter. Now select all files and delete them). Delete all unnecessary icons from desktop and also make a habit to clean your recycle bin on regular basis.

Do not overcharge your battery: 
Some people have habit to plug the charge whenever they are using their laptop. This will only reduce the life of your battery. Plug the charger on only when your battery gets below 15% (once in week try to discharge battery to completely zero percent). I have also seen some people leave their laptop on permanent charging, this will reduce the life of laptop's batter.

Fan should be unblocked:
Whenever you are using your laptop make sure that the fan should be unblocked. There should be proper exchange of air inside the laptop.
 

Place laptop in normal temperature:
Your laptop is not meant to designed for extreme temperature conditions like too hot or too cold. Always keep your laptop in normal temperature. (avoid using your laptop near fire or heating appliances).
 

Don't use liquid cleaner:
Don't use any liquid cleaner to clean your laptop. Liquid cleaner may damage the internal circuit of your laptop or may affect your LCD. (only use dry soft cloth to wipe your laptop's screen and avoid using anything that could scratch the screen).

keep local disk c 50% free: 
Always try to keep your local disk c 50% free, so that system could perform faster. To keep local disk free, you have to remove large or unnecessary files from desktop, my documents and from temporary files folder. (once your local disk c is full, your system will keep going to hang frequently and you might face problem in starting your window).

Install good antivirus: 
Antivirus is a must have application for your laptop. Make sure you use a good antivirus. We recommend you not to use free antivirus that are available on internet, they are made for only some small viruses and cannot protect your laptop completely. There are many internet security or antivirus that are easily available and affordable. For example, kaspersky and quick heel. 

Audio Volume Of VLC player:
If you are using VLC player to listen music or to watch movies, then don't increase your volume level greater then 100% ( as VLC got 200% volume level in it). This habit will damage your laptops speaker. 

I hope these points will help you at some extent. But for me, your long life is important then your Laptop's long life, so I recommend you not to use laptop on your legs as you might suffer from some skin diseases. Look at the following image carefully..
