Tips in Making Your Laptop Clean

Having a laptop is really something that people find useful. What with having something so useful that you can carry it everywhere. But Cashforlaptops.com is telling you right now: make sure that your laptop is always healthy or else it'll get old quickly. Do you want to sell your laptop quickly? Perhaps, you would want your laptop to last longer. Here are some tips:

Remove Dust and Dirt


Dust clogs vents, parts, the speakers, that part under the keyboard, you name it. When dirt clogs up the vents, it can even get stuck in the cooling fans, which will make it rotate slower, making performance slower and temperature rising. Clean the vents once a month to prevent dust buildup. To make sure you don't forget it, file it in your calendar or wherever you can be reminded of.

Keep Away from Heat

Make sure that the room temperature where you use your laptop is always cool. When laptop parts are always subjected to high temperatures, they get broken easily. Pro tip? Don't use the laptop under the sun.

Clean the keyboard


The keyboard is probably the main part where you get in contact with the laptop. This is the part that you touch, so whatever is in the keyboard, you'll likely get as well. Make sure to keep your hands clean when operating the laptop. Furthermore, clean the keyboard weekly or once a month. Give the keys a good rubbing using alcohol and soft wipes.

Always clean your laptop. Simple tips can be done such as those written above. Who knows, you might sell your laptop someday. A well-maintained laptop has more value than a broken one. Cashforlaptops.com will give value to your laptop. Just keep your end of the bargain.

Factors in Buying a New Laptop


Are you planning to buy a new laptop?

Do you actually know the kind of laptop that you want? See this post.

If not, then let's head on to one of the most important laptop questions of all - how to pick one.

At Cashforlaptops.com, we sometimes ask ourselves when people sell their laptops to us, what are the reasons/factors for people to choose a specific laptop? The results will be varied and extraordinary.

Here are three of those reasons:

The Money Factor


This is sometimes the driving factor in almost any purchase - be it computers or other things. Do you like this high-end laptop? Yes? Do you have the money to buy one? No? Then move on and choose another one.

It's a fact of life that we don't get what we want, even with laptops. But of course, since there are literally hundreds of laptop configurations, it doesn't take long for you to realize that there are other great laptops out there for you that your money can buy.

I Like This Brand over that Brand!


Of course, I know you like a MacBook. Come on, you're not in this blog if you don't want one. Brands play a big role in consumer behavior. That is a basic marketing fact. In fact, only few people will buy a relatively-priced laptop with super specs but no brand recognition.

This is one reason why people love MacBooks. It has the brand value, hence when you sell Macbook at our website, Cashforlaptops.com, you get premium price. Because of the brand. And of course, the specs are almighty, but ultimately, it's the brand that dictates the MacBook's price.

The Type


All laptops are portable, but the specifications are numerous. There's a small laptop (netbooks) and there are bigger ones (such as the Thinkpad.) There are laptops with small monitor sizes, while others have 17 inches of screen real estate. Some laptops have optical drives, others don't. There are different types of laptops and this is where you would want to list down what specs do you like.

At Cashforlaptops.com, we accept your laptops that you want to sell,  even MacBooks. You'll know that your laptop is valuable if, after you sold it to us, it can still command a higher price. Bottomline is, choose a very good laptop when buying one. It helps ease your work, and will aid you when you finally plan to sell it for a new one.

CashForLaptops.Com Tips - How To Make Your Laptop Faster

Itching to sell your laptop because it is now slowing down? Cashforlaptops.com have encountered these kinds of laptop problems too with regards to what laptops people sell online at their website. Without a doubt it is a common issue for everyone who has a laptop - when it gets old, it slows down.

So how do we make our laptop faster?

We at Cashforlaptops.com have thought of ways to make your laptops faster. 

(Really bug down, you can also sell your laptop to us!)

Cashforlaptops.com Tips - How To Make Your Laptop Faster

#1 - By Defragmenting

Just a heads up, data is stored in random locations inside the hard drive of a laptop. When you defragment, you actually are grouping this data so that the laptop will find them faster. That means it is slow because it cannot find the files fast. By defragmenting, you are not erasing data - just merely grouping them together.

#2 - Installing an Antivirus

I think this is a no brainer. You install an antivirus to protect your laptop from anomalous softwares, malicious codes etc. You don't know when it hits you that's why Cashforlaptops.com is suggesting that you install one. Check out Avira!.

You don't want to know how many laptops people have sent to us that don't have an antivirus. Yikes!

#3 -Disk Cleanup

Similar to defragmenting, A disk cleanup will run in this process - it will check the files that are not being used anymore - temp files, cookies, you name them. Oh, those programs you uninstalled? They may have left a remnant at your old laptop. A disk cleanup will do something about it.

Conclusion

We at Cashforlaptops.com knows that people value their laptops, but what is more effort for people to show value to their electronic devices by taking care of them - like avoiding at all cost for their laptop to slow down. 

If you, somehow thinks that your laptop is really not worthy of making it faster - it is too old, for example, then our website http://www.cashforlaptops.com will accept you broken laptop. We even do free shipping. So check us out.
