5 IT MAINTENANCE TASKS FOR LAPTOPS
Many of us have become castoff to working on laptops thanks to their mobility and versatility. We can take them wherever we want, they take up less space in the office and require less complex IT maintenance than external towers and displays. However, not for that reason should we ignore the maintenance of portable equipment.
If your company has decided to work with laptops, it is
recommended that you take into account some important aspects for the
maintenance of these computers in terms of their specific characteristics.
1. Check the battery status of your laptops
If the battery does not work, or it runs out too quickly, it
is not very useful that our equipment is portable, except that it is more
compact. Ideally, we can be connected whether we go on a trip or if we meet a
client in a cafe with Wi-Fi.
Therefore, it is necessary to check the condition of the
battery: checking the configuration of the battery and the use of energy and,
on the other hand, making a responsible use of it so that it does not damage
easily.
2. Check display options
All laptops and computer screens in general have a screen
configuration where we can adjust the brightness, contrast, color, etc.
If we are going to work long hours in front of a computer,
we have to make sure that the screen options are the most optimal for the eyes
to avoid visual problems.
3. Internal keyboard cleaning.
Laptop keyboards can get dirty very easily sometimes. That
ends up damaging our work, as well as the image of our company. Every so often
we must clean with a laptop cleaning product all the rubbish that usually
accumulates between the keys.
It is optional to use a small cloth template to place
between the screen and the keyboard when closing it.
4. Create security measures for connection in public
terminals
Laptops with a network card can connect via Wifi wherever
they go, as long as they have the password, or the network is freely accessible
to the public. The problem is that the vulnerability of our computer increases
when we connect in certain spaces where we do not know exactly the security of
the connection.
Therefore, we must be armed with a good antivirus and a
firewall , but also use antispyware software to prevent them from monitoring
our activities while we surf the net.
5. Establish a cloud backup method
Laptops tend to have less power and RAM than many desktops,
but in any case, you must have an automated method of backing up to the cloud.
In this way, you make sure that your computer, your external
hard drive or any other device does not fill up and you can save all your
copies in the cloud, wherever you go.
What other maintenance tasks do you consider important to
perform on a laptop? We invite you to tell us nearby the maintenance activities
that you dedicate to your laptop.
