    So where I am staying at for the time being it is really dusty; its a trailer so dirt is always coming in, I have to wipe my notebook down every two days. My question is, can I expect this to shorten my notebooks operational life and should I open up the bottom and spray the insides out very often?
    Thanks

    The insides will be okay provided you dont stay there too long (depending on how long you use the lappie for every day too)

    Definately not necessary to constantly open your lappie to clean the insides.

    Unless you stay there too long or work on your lappie too much.

    Kind of how long is a piece of string. Depends on the piece you need aw..I am confusing myself :confused: :confused:

    what i would do is to a keep your lappie far away from the door and also if you have some wood and nails try to create a blocker for all sides around the space that your using

    does creating an enclosure create problems for cooling?

    Always keep it covered when not in use.
