Atlast! i bought a new laptop...

Congratulations Margarit! I bought a new laptop myself only a few months ago and I couldn't be happier with it! Apart from being sure to give it a regular wipe down with a soft cloth (especially the keys because once they end up dirty, they can be really difficult to clean on a laptop), the main thing to be wary of is the life of the battery. Always try to let it run down completely before recharging it if you can because this will increase the overall life span of the battery. It's also a good idea not to leave the laptop in sleep mode too often and to completely shut it down regularly as well. Keep it out of direct sunlight too and don't ever press your fingers too hard against the screen.

Congratulations!! hehe well, laptops are handy, you can carry it anywhere you like, but also there are some disadvantages... A laptop can't be fixed directly by the user if some hardware fails because all hardwares are inside and are in tacked. Also, you cant upgrade it on your likes, like a destop computer that you can buy a spare memory module, or an extra hard disk... But still, laptops are easy to handle, just dont drop it on the floor... hehe

I think laptops are great, but I prefer my desktop. I used my laptop when away from home, but I do find the keys small and often make a lot of typos until I get used to it. Then when I come back home and use the desktop again, I have to get used to that. But I do love the bigger screen. - Derek

Hi margarit, Congrates friend.As it is new,i think you are facing some sort of difficulty in it,but don't worry within a week you would find it is easy.I wish you all the best.I am also planning to buy a laptop within few days. Have a nice day

I love my own laptop. It has over 100 GB memory. I use it and keep it out all the time and have only taken it out of the house once. Laptops are made to take a bit of a beating being carried around and all. I once had mine on a TV table and tipped it backwards onto a hardwood floor. I'm answering your message on it right now. Maybe it's tougher than others (Dell Inspiron 1721) or maybe I got lucky. I dust it couple times a week and use it at all times of the day and night.

Congrats!!!Use your manual. yeah its difficult for its keyboard because its brand new. But after few months the keyboard of it wouldn't be difficult anymore. Of course do not drop your laptop,.(!_!) take care of it.

Congrats. You may want to use a pedestal type thing to sit it on so it doesn't over heat. Heat comes out the bottom of the laptops and I have heard they can overheat. I am hoping to get one in the future. But not sure when I will be able to.

wow, congratulations.. I've been planning to buy a new one. I'm just waiting for the budget. hehehe.. i would strongly advise that you keep it in a laptop bag after use. don't just leave wires on the floor and fold it whenever you like. buy stuff (cloth, brush, etc) for cleaning -- intended for laptops only..

All I can say is congratulations and I know people with lap tops, they do not seem to complaint about them.

Hey, I bought my second laptop last week and am very happy also. Tips? First of all, don't use it in bed, because the base has to be hard. And do not keep open/close/open/close/open/close it all the time, do it naturally. And for the last, take care of the CD Drive, usually they are very fragile and expensive.

dont spill water or any other liquid on it do not throw it on the floor yes , no joking !! besides that, make sure you do not damage the keyboard keys by pressing them too hard. always keep it connected with the charger (whenever possible), doing this is good for the battery. install antivirus, firewall, spyware,etc

Congratulations :) Well now that you have a laptop you're gonna take your time and get used to it. The keyboard is harder to use than the computer one. Take care of the laptop get yourself a good antivirus.

ooh thats great! when i got my new laptop at christmas, i was proper chuffed and happy. You will soon get used to the keyboard, dont worry :) x

woohoo, well first of all, thats great - i remember before i got my laptop, i really wanted one because everyone i knew had one and i was annoyed that i didn't too. laptops don't tend to be too sensitive, from my experiences with them they havn't been anyway, but it really depends on the make of your laptop - if it's a decent one eg Dell, it may last for a fair few years, on the other hand - if it's some cheapo one, it will most probably break in no time whatsoever. if you keep using your laptop, you will eventually get used to the keyboard - it's really not at all different, it's just a bit flatter and.. i think it sounds nicer when you type on it ( but im just strange like that, haha).. good luck getting used to your laptop, im sure it wont take you long!

I just bought my laptop a month ago. So far so good - no problems with fragility yet. And I've noticed that a LOT of keyboards are so much different on laptops. I would think they'd stick to some sort of uniformity.

yeah, you should learn how to use laptop. i mean it is much smaller. it needs getting used to use those small keyboard. and use those touch pad where we can navigate the arrow. at first i don't like the laptop cause i was so used to in using the desktop i thought that i will never get used to it but after some time i am able to get to enjoy using the laptop over the desktop and when it is time for me to return the laptop i just sorely miss the laptop and i have to learn again to get used to again in the keyboard of my desktop. and so now i am talking about laptop again i just wanted to have a laptop again. but for practicality sake i will just stick with my desktop.

Lucky you, I've wanted a new laptop for a while now! Even though I have only had this one for a year, I use them so much that they tend to wear out a lot quicker than maybe other people's do. But I am trying to make this one do until it actually will no longer turn on, as I don't have the money for a new one with me going to uni in september and needing to buy a car etc.

congarats dear...happy to see this discussion..i think yu could post number of questions related this topic..anyway atlast u bought a laptop it is a very happy news to all your firends..whoever helped you to buy this..happy mylotting

Cougratulations! Margarit. If you are not used to the laptop keyboard, you can buy a desktop keyboard, most important is that it can help you protect laptop. Are you agree?

dude first u should also give ur your laptop name and most of the things r same as the laptop but if u want some thing different u can use some softwares
