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

Laptop configuration guide from Cash For Laptops (Cashforlaptops.com)

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.

How To Choose the Best Laptop Configuration

Laptop purchasing considerations from Cash For Laptops (Cashforlaptops.com)

Cashforlaptops.com, the premier laptop refurbishing company, has received hundreds of thousands of laptops since 2002. And you know what, every laptop has a different story apart from being broken. Most of them are of course, faulty. But you'll notice a recurring trend, perhaps one reason why people sell their laptop is because they were not able to pick the laptop configuration or specifications that they want. So in this article, Cashforlaptops.com lists down how you should choose the best specs for your laptop.

Processor

This part of the computer practically runs it. So, how do you choose it? You, of course, want the one that will give you the fastest performance. But keep in mind your budget and your needs.

• Workstations - i7
• Gamers - i5
• Student - i3 will do.

GPU

The one that processes graphics, if your GPU is high-end, it consumes less power but sure to give you better performance than what you expect. There are two brands of dedicated GPU - NVIDIA and AMD. You can choose one of them. I suggest heading to their website for more information.

RAM

The one responsible for multitasking, without it, the computer is practically useless because it is your working memory. When choosing the size, there are 4 GB and there are even higher or lower, depending on what the laptop or computer has in.

Storage

You keep your files in the storage. I don't think I need to elaborate the importance or a data storage. You can't even run Windows if there is no storage where you stored it.

There are basically 2 types storage now in the market - hard drives and solid state drives. Hard drives are cheaper but slower. Solid State Drives are more expensive but twice, or even 4x faster than traditional hard drives. Take your pick.

Conclusion

At this point, you can just mix and match the laptop specs that you want and formulate the best laptop configuration that suits you. I hope this article from Cashforlaptops.com has helped you in choosing the laptop that you want. And of course, in case you are purchasing a new laptop, you can always sell your laptop at Cashforlaptops.com so that you'll get the cash to buy that new one.
