What should you pay attention to when using a laptop?
The optical drive is the most vulnerable component in computers today, and most laptop optical drives are no exception. Laptop optical drives are mostly specialized products, and it is troublesome to replace them if they are damaged, so use them with care. It is not a good habit to watch VCD or listen to music on your laptop.
Next, let’s take a look at the precautions for using notebooks.
Don’t drop it
The first rule of thumb for system home notebooks is to drop them. Notebooks are usually packed in a portable bag, so be sure to put the bag in a safe place when placing it. Note that the zipper of the bag must be closed when placing it in the bag, or the notebook must be taken out after the zipper is opened. One of my laptops was because I didn’t take it out in time after opening the zipper. I forgot to open the zipper when I picked up the laptop after doing other things. As a result, the laptop fell to the ground after the bag was lifted. This was a painful lesson learned. Experience. In addition, since laptops are often carried around, they are inevitably subject to bumps and bumps, and laptops cannot withstand bumps, so be extra careful.
Afraid of getting dirty
On the one hand, laptops are often taken to different environments for use and are more likely to get dirty than desktop computers; on the other hand, because laptops are very It is precise and therefore less resistant to dirt than a desktop computer, so it requires careful care on your part. In addition, most laptop carrying cases are not waterproof, so you should be more careful if you often carry your laptop around.
Prohibited disassembly
If it is a desktop computer, even if you do not understand computers, there may not be any serious consequences if you disassemble it. However, laptop computers are different. You can unscrew even a single screw. May cause trouble. After using a laptop for many years, I have never dared to completely disassemble it. Not only can it be dismantled if you are not careful, but the manufacturer may not accept the warranty for computers that have been disassembled by yourself. Therefore, if you usually have hardware problems, it is best to go to the manufacturer to deal with them.
I would also like to add some experience. When buying a laptop, you must buy one from a famous brand. Since the versatility of various notebook computer accessories is not very good, many are not easy to buy in the accessories market. After three or two years, if it is not a famous brand manufacturer, you can’t even find an agency, so how can you negotiate for service? Woolen cloth.
Use less optical drives
Optical drives are the most susceptible to aging components in current computers, and most laptop optical drives are no exception. Most laptop optical drives are specialized products, and it is troublesome to replace them if they are damaged, so use them with care. It is not a good habit to use a laptop to watch VCDs or listen to music. The money to replace the laptop's CD-ROM drive is enough for you to buy a high-end VCD player or CD player. Why do you need to watch CDs on a laptop? Let's talk about the screen on the laptop. I'm afraid the sound effects are also very mediocre.
Be careful when installing software
Laptops are mainly used for mobile office services.You should only install software on your laptop that you are familiar with and have no problems with. Do not use your laptop to try software that you are not sure about. Don’t install too complicated software on your laptop. If the system is too complicated, it will inevitably cause some conflicts or problems and hidden dangers of one kind or another. In addition, laptops should be more careful about viruses, because you are likely to encounter some people or situations who want to use your computer to look at floppy disks or CDs.
Save the driver
Laptop hardware drivers have some very specific drivers, so back them up and save them carefully. If it is a public computer, you should pay more attention when handing it over. It will be troublesome to find the laptop driver if it is lost.
Pay attention to the usage environment
There are circuits and components on the laptop. Be careful not to use it near an excessively strong magnetic field. Of course, it cannot be used when flying, as the flight attendant will remind you. Do not leave your laptop under a window exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. Exposure to direct sunlight can easily accelerate the aging of the casing.
The problem of heat dissipation
The problem of heat dissipation may be one of the problems in notebook computer design. Due to space and energy constraints, you can't install a large fan in a laptop like the ones used in desktops. I took apart one of my Pentium-class laptops and found that there is only a single layer of thin metal on the CPU, and the rest of the heat may have to be dissipated by the chassis bottom plate. Therefore, when using, you should pay attention to maintaining good ventilation conditions for the heat dissipation position of your machine, and do not block the heat dissipation holes. If the machine dissipates heat through the bottom plate, do not place the machine on a poor conductor of heat for a long time.
