• Use a padded laptop bag or sleeve when transporting.
• Don't eat or drink nearby. Liquid spills are a top cause of failure.
• Close the lid before moving. Open lids risk hinge damage.
• Lift from the base, never by the screen.

• Use on hard, flat surfaces — desks, tables, or a laptop stand.
• Avoid beds, couches, or pillows that block air vents.
• Consider a cooling pad if your laptop runs hot frequently.
• Keep out of direct sunlight and hot cars.

• Keep your OS updated — security patches and performance improvements.
• Run antivirus software — Windows Defender is solid.
• Uninstall unused apps — they use storage and background resources.
• Restart weekly — clears temp files and refreshes resources.
