Here is a concrete example from practice. One lady loved to effectively open her laptop around the corner of the top cover (and also close it). It looks beautiful from the side, but after three months cracks began to appear on the hinges. The owner’s indignation is quite understandable: the operating manual says that the hinges are designed for several thousand manipulations, and here a couple of hundred – that’s all. A manufacturer’s flaw!Laptop to service center under warranty. But it was not there. There they politely point to the point of the instruction recommending opening the lid by holding it by the center, and along the way explain that when the lid with a 15-inch matrix is displaced, the forces acting on bending are quite large, and the addiction just caused the hinges to fail … Fortunately, nothing happened to the matrix.
However, let’s not exaggerate, such cases are not common, but, for sure, no one wants something like this to happen to him.
Six months of bad weather.
As you know, the guarantee of the long-term and efficient operation of any device is compliance with the conditions of its operation. And, despite the fact that a laptop is mobile, that is, in fact, a travel device, this does not mean that you can always use it. For example, the operating range of a typical laptop computer is 5 to 30 degrees Celsius. True, as we noticed, laptops tolerate low temperatures quite well, but as for the heat, it is better not to risk it – the built-in cooling system works at its limit, and it is very easy to “overheat” the device Usually it does not withstand
electronics, including a processor.
Everyone knows that a thunderstorm and telephone communication (in our case, the Internet) are incompatible. The risk, of course, is not high, but it is there. The situation is complicated by the fact that if a modem is “on fire” in a desktop PC (in general, a trifle), then in a laptop it is usually integrated into a motherboard, which is very expensive to change. So it is not worth the risk, the thunderstorm is not eternal.We think it is worth getting a special laptop bag. It is special, because, unlike the usual one, it contains a number of structural elements (protection around the perimeter, internal retaining strap, waterproof material), which makes it possible to increase the level of laptop security, both to natural factors and the vicissitudes of fate.
The benefits of “proper” nutrition
Basically, the laptop comes with its own AC adapter, and it is at least unsafe to replace it with another one. We are aware of cases of failure of the battery management board even when using a power supply with the same output voltage and current. If these values are different, then it is better not to try to connect a laptop. The likelihood that it will work is too small, but you can “burn” anything you want.
