   Data Recovery Feedback: One thing and one thing only.

   DO NOT DROP IT!

   Thats basically it though.

   but, if by chance it does crash you can replace the hardrive instead of the whole computer.

   Hard drives do fail for reasons beyond your control. But depending on how new it is the laptop should be inder warranty.

   Hope this helps.

   Data Recovery Feedback: Just be careful handling it. Install some good anti-virus/spyware software on it to prevent any bugs getting in. And apart from that, it shouldn’t be a problem.

   Data Recovery Feedback: Make sure your laptop isn’t in a situation where its constantly facing power fluctuations. You don’t keep it in poor enviromental conditions, extreme heat, extreme cold, high humidity.
   Defragment the hard drive often.
   If your not planning on using the laptop for some time, take out the battery.
   Don’t allow any food or drinks to spill on the laptop
   Proper cooling, don’t block the exhaust fans

   Data Recovery Feedback: Regular maintenance is key…. Avoid maxxing out your hard drive space, periodically defrag and check for errors (monthly) Go to Computer, right click on your hard drive and select Properties, Click on Tools….

   Another good tool is Ccleaner which will clean up space hogging temp files, cookies, etc. go

   Keep your antivirus up to date, don’t ever ever download and install a program that you haven’t at least googled to see if it’s malware or not.
