Laptops are breakable because of their portable nature. After all, the more mobile something is, the more susceptible it is to outside forces. Often times, these outside forces even include user mishandling.

2. Laptops are breakable because of their
portable nature. After all, the more
mobile something is, the more
susceptible it is to outside forces. Often
times, these outside forces even include
user mishandling.
Here are five easily overlooked things that can surprisingly do a lot of damage to your laptop
components.
3. 1. Not providing adequate ventilation conditions
Laptop parts are designed to be more
efficient with their power-to-heat-
generation ratio.
That said, heat is still generated. To that
end,
•Adequate ventilation has to be
maintained and
•Entails clearing the pathways for air to
flow through, i.e. the laptops’ air vents.
4. 2. Too much shaking
While solid state drives are slowly but
surely becoming the norm for laptops,
many current ones are still equipped
with hard drives. These HDs contain a
lot of moving mechanical parts. When a
laptop with an HD is shaken for
prolonged periods, there is a very real
danger of the HD’s parts moving too
much, possibly leading to corrupted
data; or worse, the HD itself being
broken.
5. 3. Using the screen half of the laptop like a handle
Some grab their laptops by one side of
the chassis (increasing the chances for
violent shaking, which leads to Item #2);
while others shockingly dangle theirs via
opened optical drives.
The only proper way to carry a laptop is
with both hands, balancing the computer
by carrying both its sides. Any other
way is just asking for trouble.
6. 4. Cord-mangling
As many people whose “OC senses”
tingle at the sight of tangled cords, there
are probably just as many who couldn’t
care less.
They should, though, because tangled
cords do have a breaking point, after
which they just become mangled. This is
worse if the break occurs inside the wire
and not out, since it could be a while
before users can come to the conclusion
that their laptops’ problems probably lie
in severed connections.
7. 5. Foregoing a laptop bag
Finally, some people take laptop bags
for granted, deeming them as mere
accessories that most can do without.
However, the fact of the matter is that
laptops are meant to be taken outside;
and when out, sufficient protection is an
absolute necessity.
