Because you know that the age of the notebook was designed around only a maximum age of 2 years.Well, as is a new trend to have the notebook and you may join trend by fall, the following will give me some tip's for buying notebooks.

1. Function and availability of funds

Think before your notebook will be used for what, if limited only to later be used for typing and multimedia because you are a student. If this is later, then you simply purchase the notebook with the specification of a low / appropriate purposes only. If you like games you can buy the notebook with AMD processor with VGA or nVIDIA GeForce, but if you really love playing games should not buy a notebook to play games, just buy a PC. Not play games at home is enough.

2. Warranty Period.
Long period of time or warranty must be highly considered, this is to keep if at any time notebook trouble. Because during the warranty period then all costs for all types of damage (not including software) is free alias free. May be a time when you have damaged your notebook LCD, then do not surprised if the warranty period has been exhausted and your service will buy with a price half the price of the notebook, or may be even more expensive price of the notebook when you buy it. If you have the campaign and the campaign have said the addition of the warranty period then flee follow any promo, the well may be you will be subject to additional charge but this will be very profitable.

3. Physical Design

Are all the features work properly or not. If the shop does not as soon as you are willing to resort to the purchase of the notebook after installing you can check that all feature. If there are some features that do not work right back to the shop to switch your notebook.

5. completeness
Check whether all existing completeness, from the manual, driver CD (some products may not include driver) warranty book, dus and the adapter. Please check whether the adapter is functioning normally or not

6.Acessoris Notebook
Acessoris the Cooling Pad is recommended (especially for Gamers), Screen Protector, Protector Keyboard, Mouse, Keyboard external, and Soft-Case. Use acessoris if you use a notebook at home. This is to ensure that the notebook more durable and long lasting.

So keep good bill and warranty card is. If the warranty card to be sent immediately to the manufacturers do allow warranty card to the address listed. Try signing and warranty card to be lost.

9. Service Center

This is to anticipate when the notebook diservice because you need to trouble or damage. So no need to take some time. Because walaupunsedang process improvement in the service centernya, but the process continues to run the warranty period.

Tips Caring for your Laptop

Through this simple any posts will be served in a variety of simple tips and avoid treating your laptop from damage early. This will be useful in the age of your laptop.

1. Do not indiscriminate download free software from the internet.
Moreover, for example software that seems as an antivirus. Use software-software that you get from the package that you buy a laptop. The risk of the virus can damage the laptop if you carelessly use the software from the internet. If you want to use the downloaded software, so make sure you have scanned with antivirus software that you have.
2. Do not place the laptop on the floor.
When your laptop on the floor, then the risk of your feet step over it, your children, or pets will be very large. Children will think your laptop toys and pet you can only damage the parts of a laptop. In addition, the laptop is put on the floor will be dirty by the dust quickly.
3. Plug the power stabilizer to your laptop.
If you are working on the laptop using the power (without battery), then you should use a stabilizer that can prevent the occurrence of voltage electricity that is not stable to your laptop.
4. Do not place any objects between the keyboard and laptop screen.
Often I see someone using a laptop, and then placed the paper-paper on the laptop keyboard, then close laptopnya. This is very dangerous, because the risk of a big screen scratches. Of course you do not want to replace a laptop screen trouble not graze?
5. Do not place your laptop on the surface that is too soft.
For example, you place the laptop on the sofa which is very soft, so that the laptop looks to be slightly submerged in the sofa. This is very dangerous, because it can prevent discharge of heat in the laptop and your laptop too.
6. Be careful when carrying your laptop in the bag.
Do not use any bag to carry your laptop. Use a bag that is used for the laptop so that other objects will not touch certain parts on the laptop.
7. Never drink or eat or drink, put the liquids in the vicinity of the laptop.
This is dangerous, because the laptop is very sensitive to the liquid on the laptop, such as a liquid into the keyboard.
8. Never attempt to disassemble your own laptop.
This is an action that is not very wise. Laptops are not like the radio or regular tape recorder. Many of the parts that are very small, only manufacturer's are built using precision robots. If you are careless, then your laptop can be damaged worse. Bring the laptop to the damaged dealer service center or from your laptop.
