Easy laptop maintenance tips to keep your laptop safe and sound

Laptops have become part and parcel of our everyday life, so it is obvious that there are many issues related to laptops that gives us headaches atleast once in a week or a month. People who are way busy with their work do not have the t

From All the experience I have with my laptop, I have come up thirteen easy laptop maintenance tips that you can follow immediately and can keep your laptop safe and sound.

• Do not dump too many programs in to your laptop. You may argue that today’s processors can handle any number of programs; well- it is partially true.

Burning DVDs often will decrease the life of the players as well as the batteries as disc burning consumes lot of power!
• Do not use more than one anti virus in your laptop (malware is also an anti virus remember). Having too anti viruses may lead to some unwanted / heavy processes to be started.
