Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior and screen. For tougher marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the laptop's vents are clear of dust and obstructions. Do not place the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or blankets for extended periods, as this can block airflow and cause overheating.
  • Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid keeping the laptop plugged in at 100% charge constantly if not necessary. Adjust power settings to balance performance and battery conservation.
  • Storage: For long-term storage, ensure the battery is charged to around 50% and store the laptop in a cool, dry place.
