1. Don’t keep a laptop in too hot or too cold place: Yes, both of them are bad laptop. If you do so, you only run into the risk of losing your data in the laptop.
   

2. Don’t browse Internet a lot: Internet is full of spy wares and other malicious things that can harm your laptop. The more you browse Internet, your laptop will be exposed to virus and spy wares more. So, try to keep your use of Internet in a modest level.
   

3. Don’t expect that you can play cool games in your laptop: Yes, almost all laptops are not ideal for playing 3d games. First of all, the screen is small and then the processors and graphics cards are not very powerful. So, if you are a hardcore gamer, you will only feel disappointed.
   

4. Don’t buy a laptop for doing video editing: Most laptops are not ideal for doing any kind of video editing, animation rendering or even high end graphics design. So, if you are planning to buy a laptop for this kind of work then don’t go for it. You will only get frustrated in the end.
   

5. Don’t be a MacGyver with your laptop: MacGyver is an expert and he knew what he was doing. Don’t try to open the inner part of laptop and carry out different tests. Leave it to the experts. Curiosity may not kill the cat but it will surely destroy your laptop.
   

6. Don’t show off: In this world of fashion, many people want to show off their expensive things to make others jealous. Laptop is still a cool thing to show off but there is a risk too. If you show off your laptop too much then it will become easier for the bad guys to steal it.
   

7. Don’t lend your laptop: Yes, don’t lend your laptop to your friends or relatives. Especially, if they do not know how to take care of a laptop computer then your laptop may suffer numerous problems and fixing a laptop is an expensive affair.

9. Don’t operate your laptop for long time: For desktop computers, it does not matter that much whether you run it 2 hours or 20 hours at a stretch. Often, we keep our desktop computers idle and open. Don’t do the same thing with our laptop. Then laptop may get overheated.
   

Don’t carry laptop the way you carry your books: Yes, never carry laptops carelessly. Always remember that it is an expensive gadget and you must be careful about it.
