The video shared online by @charis_computer_hub on TikTok offered clear guidance on protecting devices while extending their lifespan and performance.
In the video, the expert highlighted some essential tips for all laptop users.
Laptop care tips every user must know
The expert shared three crucial laptop care tips that many overlook.
First, he advised that we avoid using laptops on soft surfaces like beds, as vents can become blocked.
Heat buildup in blocked vents can damage internal components, sometimes leaving screens completely blank even when the power is on. Proper airflow, he stressed, is vital for longevity.
Second, battery care remains essential. Overcharging generates excessive heat that can harm the laptop.
Users should unplug once the battery is full and avoid draining it to zero. He recommended maintaining charge levels between 30% and 85% to prevent long-term battery failure.
Third, he urged users to use sleep mode on laptops correctly. Keeping devices in sleep mode for extended periods, especially when travelling or in bags, can trap heat.
He advised limiting sleep mode to short durations, allowing machines to rest without overheating.
