General view

Ø What is a laptop?

Laptop(from English. notebook- notebook PC) - a portable personal computer, in the case of which typical PC components are combined, including a display, keyboard, and batteries. Laptops run on batteries, but it is also possible to work through adapters that charge the laptop battery.

Compact computers containing all the necessary components (including a monitor) in one small case and, as a rule, folding in the form of a book. Adapted to work on the road, in a small free space. To achieve small sizes, they use special technologies: specially designed specialized microcircuits (ASICs), RAM and hard drives of reduced dimensions, a compact keyboard that does not contain a numeric field, external power supplies, a minimum of expansion slots.

As a rule, they contain advanced means of connecting to wired and wireless networks, built-in multimedia equipment (speakers, often a microphone and a webcam). IN Lately The computing power of laptops is not much inferior to stationary PCs, and sometimes even surpasses them. Very compact models do not include a CD/DVD drive.

Through special docks, laptops can turn into desktop PCs: by inserting a laptop into such a dock, the user connects an external large screen, a full-size keyboard, mouse, speakers and connection ports to the laptop's computing devices.

What are laptops?

Ø First of all, laptops differ in their size.

Laptops are small in size and weight, the battery life of laptops varies from 1 to 6-8 hours.

netbook(from English. netbook) is a small laptop designed to access the Internet and work with office applications. Netbooks are compact in size (screen diagonal 7-10 inches or 17.8-25.4 cm), light weight, low power consumption and relatively low cost.

Notebooks are classified by size based on the diagonal size of the display:

17-inch or more - "Desktop Replacement" 14 - 16-inch - mainstream laptops (there is no special name for this category of laptops) 11 - 13.3 inches - subnotebooks 7 - 10.2 inches - netbooks. Devices with a screen size of less than 7 inches are classified as "handheld computers"

Let's take a closer look at these classifications:

Desktop Replacement (display size 17 inches or more)

A Desktop Replacement Notebook (DTR) is designed to replace a desktop PC. In fact, this is a type of multimedia and business laptops, which has one key feature - a large screen (with a diagonal of 17 inches or more). The dimensions and weight (3-5 kg.) of such portable computers are very significant, which makes them inconvenient to carry. However, the relatively large size of the display provides a more comfortable experience. The case of the device allows you to install powerful components and provide them with sufficient cooling. A number of manufacturers install 2 hard drives in large laptops, which are usually combined into a RAID array. DTR laptops, as a rule, have high performance, a discrete graphics card, a large set of connectors, a high-quality screen, and a comfortable keyboard with a separate numeric keypad. The cost of laptops in this class is in the range from 18,000 to 120,000 rubles.

Subnotebooks - laptops with display sizes of 11 - 13.3 inches

These laptops are small in size and weight, but the small screen size reduces the usability of such a device. Subnotebooks are not large enough to accommodate powerful components due to cooling issues, so they often use low power mobile processors (LV or ULV models). Subnotebooks are rarely equipped with discrete graphics cards, and some models do not have an optical disc drive installed.

Netbooks - sizes 7 - 10.2 inches

Term netbook(netbook) becomes as familiar as the words laptop, laptop. In fact, they are all used to refer to portable computers. A netbook is not a complete laptop. The logic is simple Inter Net+ note Book = netbook. Netbooks are focused on browsing the web, working with e-mail and office programs. For these laptops, special energy-efficient Intel Atom processors have been developed. The small screen size, small keyboard and low performance of such devices is offset by a moderate price and relatively long battery life. Dimensions do not allow you to install an optical drive in a netbook, but a Wi-Fi adapter is a required component.

Now the netbook market is growing rapidly and new models appear almost every week. In general, there is a noticeable tendency for netbooks to approach ordinary laptops in terms of price, size, but unfortunately not in terms of performance. So if you're looking for a portable workhorse, look no further than ultraportable laptops. Yes, they are much more expensive, but they also have much more power. A netbook will not help you here.

And the smallest ones are

PDA - Personal Pocket Computer (PDA).

The diagonal of such computers is less than 7 inches.

Personal Pocket Computer is the collective name for a class of portable electronic computing devices originally proposed for use as electronic organizers. The English name Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) can be translated into Russian as “personal digital assistant”. The PDA is often referred to as a handheld. handheld) due to their small size. As a rule, they are controlled using a screen that is small in size and resolution, sensitive to pressing a finger or a special pen (stylus), and there is no keyboard and mouse. Some models, however, contain a miniature fixed or slide-out keyboard.

And so we examined the classification of laptops by size, their next feature is their internal filling.

Ø Classification of laptops by technical characteristics.

According to technical characteristics, laptops are classified into:

Budget laptops Mid-range laptops Business laptops Multimedia laptops Gaming laptops Mobile workstation Luxury laptops Rugged laptops Touchscreen laptops

So let's look at this category.

Budget laptops

The screen size of a budget laptop is usually 14-15", although a number of manufacturers offer models with a diagonal of 17".

Budget laptops - laptops with a low price and handicapped. Such laptops are based on cheap Intel Celeron M and AMD Mobile Sempron processors, as well as lower models of Intel Core 2 Duo and AMD Turion, sometimes VIA C7 processors are used. Budget processors often do not have the best energy efficiency, which negatively affects the battery life of laptops. A number of super-budget models do not have a Wi-Fi adapter.

A special position among budget laptops is occupied by netbooks with a screen diagonal of 7 - 10.2 inches. These devices were originally developed for the lower price segment, but their performance and comfort are low, and the cost of many models is comparable to regular budget laptops, which makes them not the best choice for the role of the main computer.

In order to keep costs down, budget laptops are often shipped without an operating system preinstalled, or with FreeDOS or a GNU/Linux-based OS preinstalled.

Mid-range laptops

The screen size of such a device can be any.

Mid-range laptops are the most extensive and rather blurred category of laptops. Laptops in this category do not have outstanding performance, the video adapter is built-in or discrete of the lower series, the processor is entry-level or mid-level. The case of such portable computers is usually made of plastic, the design is simple, not eye-catching. The operating system in most cases is Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium, there is also Windows XP Home Edition.

Manufacturers usually refer to mid-range models as office and mainstream series, sometimes such laptops are positioned as "economy-class multimedia laptops" or even as "economy-class gaming laptops" (in this case, the laptop has a mid-range graphics card and an inexpensive processor). ). Most of the DTR (desktop replacement) category laptops can also be classified as mid-range laptops.

Business class laptops.

Business class is laptops for business people. According to their technical characteristics, business laptops are almost similar to middle-class laptops and differ from them mainly in a strict and concise design, as well as in the use of more expensive materials. Business laptops are quite often classified as subnotebooks (intended primarily for those who often travel on business trips), rarely - as a DTR (desktop replacement) category (for those who do not need to take the laptop out of the office). Some models are equipped with professional Quadro NVS graphics cards designed to display information on multiple external displays (these video adapters are certified for corporate applications). There are even business netbooks (HP 2133 Mini-Note PC). Business laptops typically come pre-installed with Windows XP Professional Edition or Windows Vista Business.

multimedia laptops

Multimedia laptops are also a rather blurry category of laptops.

The screen size of multimedia laptops is 15 - 17 inches, multimedia laptops with a smaller diagonal are almost never found, since the small size of the display makes it difficult to perform multimedia functions. Simple multimedia laptops are almost indistinguishable from mid-range laptops. Sometimes you can find a small screen on the back of the lid that allows you to view images and video clips without opening the laptop. Quite often there is the possibility of watching movies and other multimedia files without loading the operating system. Advanced multimedia laptops are equipped with a TV tuner and remote control. The operating system is usually Windows XP Media Center Edition or Windows Vista Home Premium.

Positioning a portable PC as "multimedia" depends on the manufacturer. Typically, multimedia laptops include laptops with mid-range graphics cards and processors, which allows you to use the laptop for almost any purpose, including most computer games.

Gaming laptops

Gaming laptops are designed for gaming. The main difference between a gaming laptop is a productive processor and a powerful graphics card. Despite the fact that mobile versions of video cards are inferior to desktop ones, they are able to provide quite comfortable conditions for playing modern demanding games. Some manufacturers offer laptops with two SLI/Crossfire graphics adapters (of course, in Desktop Replacement class models). Often gaming laptops have an aggressive design, such models can be classified as Image laptops.

Mobile workstation

Notebooks of the mobile workstation class are designed for professional work in 3D modeling and CAD programs. The key difference between a mobile workstation and other laptops is the use of mobile versions of professional video cards NVidia Quadro FX or ATI FireGL. Typically, such laptops have a powerful processor, and the display has a high resolution (up to 1920x1200 on models with a screen size of 15.4 - 17 inches).

Image laptops

Image laptops stand out among others with a bright and memorable design. For the manufacture of fashion laptop cases, materials such as steel, aluminum, carbon fiber and other unusual materials are often used. There are models decorated with Swarovski crystals. A typical fashion laptop belongs to the class of subnotebooks, but fashion models are found among models of all sizes. The class of fashion laptops sometimes includes some models of gaming and business laptops. The performance of fashion laptops can be very low (compact models), or it can be very high (MacBook Pro, gaming laptops Asus Lamborgini, Acer Ferrari, etc.)

Rugged laptops

Rugged laptops ("SUVs") are designed to work in extreme conditions. They have increased resistance to vibration, shock, high dust and humidity, aggressive chemical environments can operate at extreme temperatures. Manufacturers offer models with different protection classes. Such laptops are used in the army, emergency services (Ministry of Emergency Situations, firefighters, etc.), they can serve as industrial computers, etc. Often, such devices are developed by special order of state organizations (mainly the armed forces). Rugged laptops use special components that are resistant to external influences. Solid-state hard drives (SSDs) are widely used. The widespread use of rugged laptops is hampered by their high price and heavy weight.

Touch screen laptops (tablet laptops)

Touchscreen laptops are a hybrid of a tablet PC and a laptop, which is why they are also called tablet laptops. From tablet PCs they got a touch screen, and from a laptop case with a full keyboard. The positioning of such portable computers depends on the manufacturer, some refer to these devices as laptops, others as tablet computers. As a rule, the display on such laptops is made swivel, which greatly expands the functionality of the device and allows you to use it both as a laptop and as a full-fledged tablet computer. The screen size of tablet laptops usually does not exceed 15 inches, the performance is quite average. These features are associated with the high cost and relatively high power consumption of touch panels.

The advantage of such laptops over other categories of portable computers is the ability to enter information directly on the screen, and in front of tablet PCs - a full keyboard that allows you to easily type large amounts of text. The main disadvantages are the high cost and relatively low performance of such devices. The disadvantages also include the lower reliability of the swivel joint (compared to traditional

Laptop A portable personal computer that combines typical PC components, including a display, keyboard and pointing device (usually a touchpad or touchpad), as well as batteries. Laptops are small in size and weight, the battery life of laptops varies from 1 to 6-8 hours.

Comparison of laptops and desktops

Advantages of laptops over desktop PCs:

• Light weight and dimensions. Even laptops in the desktop replacement category can be easily relocated. The laptop can be taken on a business trip, to the country, on vacation. Moving a desktop computer to another room/office is often a hassle, not to mention moving to another city.
• It is not necessary to connect external devices for operation. A laptop includes a built-in display, keyboard, and pointing device (usually a touchpad, but all of these devices need to be connected separately to a desktop computer.
• Ability to work offline. The presence of a battery allows the laptop to work in conditions where the electrical network is not available (in a train, plane, car, cafe and just on the street). A desktop computer can work autonomously for a very short time and only if there is an uninterruptible power supply.
• Ability to connect to wireless networks. Almost all laptops (with the exception of some ultra-budget models) are equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter, which allows you to connect to the Internet without wires. There are Wi-Fi access points in many cafes, entertainment centers, airports, and hotels. There are also urban Wi-Fi networks that allow you to connect to a wireless network in many areas of the city. Desktop computers usually do not have a built-in Wi-Fi adapter (with the exception of some expensive models and most nettops), however, for stationary computers, this drawback is not significant.

Notebook Disadvantages

• High price. Perhaps the most important disadvantage of laptops. A fully-equipped desktop computer (complete with a monitor, input devices (keyboard and mouse), and sound system) of the same cost as a laptop will be more productive.
• Low maximum performance. The compact dimensions of laptops place special demands on cooling, so the components used in laptops are severely limited in terms of heat dissipation, and hence power. Even powerful gaming laptops and mobile workstations can't match performance desktop PCs for demanding tasks such as gaming, 3D modeling and design, rendering, engineering calculations, and more. A few desknotes cannot correct the situation, since they have the same size and heat dissipation restrictions as other laptops. Therefore, not the most productive desktop processors are installed in desktops and mobile versions of video cards are used.
• Limited modernization. Unlike desktop computers, the ability to upgrade laptops is very limited. Portable computers usually provide the ability to independently replace the RAM and hard drive. Upgrading the video card in most laptops is not provided, although there are models that allow you to replace the graphics adapter. If you need to replace other components, including the processor and optical drive, we recommend that you contact a qualified technician. In retail, mobile versions of processors and video cards are practically not found.
• Compatibility issues with various operating systems. Notebook manufacturers rarely support a family of operating systems other than those preinstalled on a given laptop model. In addition, laptops often use specific components, so compatibility issues with other operating systems are much more common than for desktop computers.

Disadvantages of laptops resulting from the portability of portable computers

• The quality of the built-in components. Unlike desktop computers, a laptop has a built-in display and input devices (keyboard and touchpad). This is an undoubted advantage of laptops, but at the same time, the quality and usability of the built-in components are often low. Notebook keyboards typically have fewer keys than desktops (due to the combined numeric keypad), and key sizes, especially on subnotebooks and netbooks, can be very small and uncomfortable for some users. The touchpad is less convenient than a computer mouse. The viewing angle and color gamut of laptop monitors are low, which makes them almost unsuitable for photo processing, the screen size in most models is quite small. It should be noted that the listed shortcomings of the built-in elements are quite natural for mobile devices and they can be easily compensated by connecting external components (monitor, keyboard, computer mouse), however, this increases the final cost of the laptop and somewhat reduces the portability of the portable computer.
• Increased chance of breakage. The mobility of laptops gives rise to another problem that is also sometimes brought into the shortcomings of portable computers - a higher probability of breakage compared to a desktop PC. Laptops get dropped more often. It is possible to break the laptop display when closing the lid (if a foreign object gets between the keyboard and the display). If you fill the laptop keyboard with some liquid (for example, kefir), then there is a high probability that the laptop computer will fail (while only the keyboard will fail on a desktop computer). However, Rugged Notebooks are usually much less likely to break than desktop computers and are comparable to industrial computers.

Information sources

The advent of the world's first computer was a real revolution in high technology. The invention of the laptop was no less a breakthrough. Without this device modern man does not think about his daily life.

A laptop allows you to perform many tasks: surf the Internet, chat with friends, listen to music and watch movies, work with documents and much more. However, not all users have an idea of ​​what a laptop is. In this article, we will try to tell you about what a laptop is, what main components it consists of and what functions it performs.

Laptop: what is it and what is it eaten with?

The word "laptop", in English "notebook", translated into Russian means "notebook". It got this name due to its shape and the way the lid is opened, which resembles a regular notebook that people are used to using on a daily basis, making various notes, contacts and other important information into it. Later, notebooks were replaced by organizers that perform a similar function, however, with greater capabilities. One of its main advantages is its compactness, so each person could easily take it everywhere with them. And now today we have such a device as a laptop. It has almost limitless possibilities, compact dimensions and an autonomous power source, which allows you to take it anywhere with you. Nowadays, it helps a lot in study, work and communication skills.

What functions is the laptop designed for?

Like any other portable device, a laptop is also designed to perform certain tasks. According to its technical characteristics, this is the same desktop computer with compact dimensions and an independent power source. Its technical device is completely identical with a personal computer.

With the help of a special software, you can view and edit documents on your laptop. In addition, thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi module, laptop owners get constant access to the Internet in places where there is a wireless access point. After all, you must admit, it is very convenient to sit in some cafe, drink hot tea and chat with friends or do other important things.

Laptop VS PC: What's the difference?

So, if we already know that a laptop and a standard desktop computer perform identical functions, then what is the fundamental difference, and how, in fact, is notebook superior to a PC? The first thing you need to pay attention to is the size of the device. This difference is noticeable to any person even with the naked eye. The compact dimensions of the laptop are one of its main differences and advantages. It was thanks to its compactness that the laptop was able to push the large-sized stationary on the market and win universal recognition and love from users. You can take it with you on the road and always keep it at hand, which cannot be said about a personal computer, the transportation of which even to another room turns into a real problem.

Another important difference is "all inclusive". To work with a laptop, there is no need to connect additional devices such as a monitor, keyboard or mouse, without which a stationary PC will simply be useless. In addition, laptops are equipped with an autonomous power source - a rechargeable battery, so even connecting to a network is not necessary for its operation.

Notebook Disadvantages

Despite the many advantages laptops have over desktops. These devices also have some disadvantages. One of the main disadvantages of these devices is low performance. According to this criterion, they significantly lose to PC. Even the so-called "gaming" laptops, which have high technical characteristics, are comparable in performance to the average stationary computers. However, if a person needs a working machine, the main purpose of which is to work with documents, then this is not such a disadvantage.
But the difficulty in repair is a very tangible problem. In the event of a failure of any device in a laptop, it will be very difficult to repair it on your own, since in some models the replacement of devices is not provided at all.

Hibernation in a laptop - what is it?

Each modern device has its own original functions. One of those in laptops is hibernation. However, not all, even advanced, users have an idea of ​​what it is. Despite the intriguing name, hibernation is not very popular among modern users. This is most likely due to the fact that not many people know how to start it. The thing is that it is hidden in the laptop and a special command is designed to activate and deactivate it, which must be entered on the command line.

Many users mistakenly think that hibernation is a sleep mode. Yes, there are some similarities between these functions and they perform similar tasks. However, there is one significant difference. Sleep mode is designed to conserve battery power when the user is not working on the laptop. When you put the device into sleep mode, the laptop goes into offline mode, in which the battery lasts up to 12 hours. But the hibernation mode is designed to save battery power. What is the cost savings, you ask? In hibernation mode, the operating system copies the data stored in RAM to the hard drive, and then cuts off power to the devices. One more hallmark hibernation from sleep mode is a faster exit from it. For example, if the laptop wakes up from sleep for about a minute, then it takes only 10 seconds for the device to resume working after hibernation.

Touchpad and mouse: a complete analogy

A computer mouse is used to control the cursor in stationary PCs. To perform the same function in a laptop, a special device called a touchpad is designed. Thus, you can work with a laptop in a car or train, where there is no flat surface for using a mouse. Many users. Having tried the touchpad, they completely abandoned the use of the mouse familiar to many.

Chipset

Users with limited knowledge about the laptop device do not even assume. That there are bridges inside the device. And they have nothing to do with those bridges that serve as crossings over the river. However, this term could be encountered by people who contacted service centers to repair a laptop. For example, the master could say that the laptop is not working due to a burnt north or south bridge and a motherboard replacement is required to repair it. Hearing this, many simply fall into a stupor.

In order to have a more detailed understanding of the laptop device, you need to look inside the device. The chipset is a combination of the south and north bridges responsible for distributing power across the motherboard.

More significant is the northbridge, located closer to the processor, since it is responsible for performing more tasks. If the north bridge fails, its further replacement is impossible, therefore, the entire motherboard must be replaced. The northbridge is responsible for transferring information between the processor and RAM. During the operation of the laptop, the north bridge is subjected to very high loads, so it overheats very much. In some models of modern laptops, manufacturers equip this node with a passive or active cooling system to reduce its operating temperature and increase the life of the north bridge.

The southbridge is located at the bottom of the motherboard. During the operation of the laptop, it also heats up very much and often fails. The main reason for the failure of this unit is the lack of cooling. It is worth noting that the south bridge acts as a kind of shield and protects other laptop devices from burning. The main reason for the burnout of this node is a strong overheating or short circuit resulting from the "hot" removal of the flash drive from the USB connector.

Laptops are mobile computers. They came into our life relatively recently. These mobile computers allow you to travel long distances and get work done. Especially where there is no electrical network, a laptop will always help. To date, the battery charge allows him work 8 hours without recharging.

What is a laptop

Not everyone knows where the meaning of the word laptop came from. Translated from English Notebook means notepad or notebook. Another name for such mobile computers is laptop. This name is given from the English "lap" - the knees of a seated person, "top" - top, kneecap. Laptops are called laptops, smartbooks, netbooks.

Laptop is portable mobile device in which the same spare parts are installed with a personal computer. Only they are greatly reduced. It has a hard drive on which the user stores their data, RAM, a processor, a video card, a monitor or screen, a keyboard, a touchpad instead of a mouse, and a rechargeable battery.

Mobile devices are different by weight, by size, by appearance. The rechargeable battery allows you to use the device from 5 to 8 hours.

The first laptop was invented and created in 1982 by NASA. The engineer's name was William Mogridge.

These mobile devices perform the same tasks and functions as personal computers. These devices are much more expensive than PCs. If the PC and laptop are the same price, then the latter will definitely lose significantly in performance. The laptop can also be used as multimedia entertainment station when connected to a home TV.

Types of laptops and their classification

Laptops are classified by screen size, purpose and cost. Consider the types of laptops.

A small monitor of eleven or thirteen inches distinguishes such mobile devices from all others. Since it is impossible to install good and massive cooling on them, the processors in them are used with reduced power consumption, without discrete graphics cards. And this means that they do not shine with good performance. Such devices are suitable for office work.

Ultraportables (ultrabooks)

Such devices used on the road. The processors installed on them are also with low power consumption. Screen sizes from 9 to 12 inches. No discrete cards. However, at a price they are much more expensive than conventional ones with average performance.

These laptops are designed for web browsing, mail, work with Microsoft Office. Here, the processors are of a higher class than in the already given types of laptops. By price comfortable for a budget wallet. Of the pluses, you can add the presence of Wi FI. From shortcomings- No optical drive.

Laptop for the middle class

The screen sizes of such devices can be completely different. Have average performance, have a discrete graphics card of the younger generation. The body is made of plastic. Installed modern Windows OS. They fall into the "personal computer replacement" category.

Business class laptops

Such devices are almost are no different from mid-range laptops. The case is made of metal and other expensive materials. Stylish design, built-in and discrete graphics cards. Sometimes Quadro NVS is used − graphics adapter to work in engineering programs such as CAD. They are pre-installed with Windows OS.

multimedia

The screen size of such portable computers ranges from 15 to 19 inches. Often, a screen is built into the back of the cover, which allows you to watch clips, movies without opening the computer. Models in this category sometimes equipped with a TV tuner. The processor and video card are used from mid-range laptops. On such devices, it is recommended play games, which are not demanding on cutting-edge settings.

Gaming laptops

Of course, such portable devices have not one, but two powerful graphics cards connected via an SLI bridge. Crossfire mode is present. Equipped with powerful processors and RAM. They have an aggressive, but in their beautiful design. Designed for avid gamers. Are more expensive than all of the above.

The rest - tablet(or with touch screen), protected(used for military purposes, as "SUVs"), fashion, in size are no different from those described above. Only some are adorned with diamonds or jewels, others are made of armor-piercing material, they use SSD drives that are resistant to shock. In terms of cost, all these models are expensive, but they correspond to the described class both in terms of performance and reliability. Only tablets have one drawback - this is poor performance, low strength.

What is the difference from a computer

The key difference from a desktop computer is portability. The next difference is small weight and dimensions. Using Wi-Fi without additional equipment. They have their own keyboard and touchpad that replaces the mouse. Do not need mains power for some time. These are the benefits of being different.

TO shortcomings It should be attributed to the high cost and low performance of many budget models.

Laptop device - what it consists of

The first thing a user sees when they buy a laptop is the case. It is usually made from durable eraser with a metal cord around the perimeter, to protect against accidental breakage.

At the top of the laptop are placed screen matrix, Wi Fi devices, speakers, camera. Inside lower part the keyboard, touchpad, cables and elements for work are placed. These include:

• Motherboard, and it already has all of the following.
• CPU- the brain of the computer - and the cooling system. Without it, the processor and the entire laptop will simply overheat and soon fail.
• RAM. Usually 1 or 2 brackets are installed, depending on the number of connectors. Together with the processor, it is responsible for the speed of the laptop.
• HDD An HDD or SSD that is connected to the motherboard via a SATA interface.
• video card is responsible for displaying the image on the screen.
• Optic DVD ROM.
• USB inputs, power cord input.
• Accumulator battery.

Everything interacts with each other in a strict sequence. In fact, the very principle of operation is no different from a stationary computer.

Advantages and disadvantages

One of the main advantages is portability. Laptops are in no way inferior to personal computers at the moment. But if something breaks in it, with the exception of RAM, HDD or SSD, keyboard, then most often it's better to buy a new one laptop rather than spending money on spare parts. They are hard enough to find, and if specialists have them, they will cost as much as half a new one.

The rest is a modern portable computer. In order for it not to fail for a long time, it is recommended to follow some rules.

How to use correctly to prolong the service life

Under no circumstances should it be placed with its back on flat surface sofas, armchairs, tables. Purchased with a laptop special stand for cooling with coolers inside. Then it will not overheat much, as there will be enough air circulation for the necessary cooling.

Don't sit down on it, do not put anything, do not drink tea or coffee at the laptop. When you first start, let it discharge and turn off, connect to the charger. Let it fully charge.

Wear once a year preventive work to specialists. Thermal paste on processors that connects it to the cooler dries faster than on a computer. And more dust gets into it.

If you follow these simple rules your laptop will serve you well for a long time.
