Dos and Don'ts of owning a laptop/

I'm so scared my cpu/motherboard is going to burn up just because I use a program for a couple hours, or using the laptop on my coushioned ottomon.
I have a Dell 1500

any do's/don'ts with laptops?

 

Lol..dont worry too much. I fell asleep with a vaio on my bed once. It was hot enough to be burning my leg when I woke up but it's still going today..and this was over a year ago.

If you're worried get a laptop cooler but they really aren't that bad.

 

Yeah, I don't think it's that easy to burn out a laptop these days. I've left my 500m on for days at a time in various locations and it's still fine as well.

Frankly I think if you just use some common sense you'll be alright. Like don't intentionally leave it outside at noon on a blistering hot day... and if you've got doubts about a certain situation, just don't do it.

(Of course if you've got complete care or something there's nothing to worry about )

 

Well I leave my notebook on always unless I'm traveling.

I wouldn't suggest taking your laptop swimming.

 

And most laptops don't like drunken typing..... A friend once puked on his laptop... not a pretty sight.

 

lol, underwater computing = extreme :twitcy:

 

I leave my D820 on 24/7 - runs great.

Don't worry about it and get a warranty.

 

Ur laptop won't get dehydrated so never let it drink whatever kind of drinks, Pepsi, Cola, Ice Tea, and such are all included in the not to let em drink list.

 

Words to live by.
