How can I make my laptop last really long?
There is no easy way to make a laptop last. Taking good care of it is the main thing that you should do if you want it to last, just like you would with any other product. Cleaning the air intakes with a can of compressed air is certainly a good way to make a laptop last, as heat is one of the main causes of a dead laptop. Another good thing to do is to do full charge cycles on your battery, meaning that you charge it to 100% and then run it down to below 10% often. This ensures that your battery holds its maximum charge for it's entire life. One last thing to make sure that you do is clean your laptop's screen with a microfibre cloth. I all to often see people wiping their screen with their hand or sleeve. This doesn't make it any cleaner and simply puts microscopic scratches in it, making the image blurry or distorted over time. If you do all of this, your laptop will last a lot longer than one that isn`t properly maintained!
