Taking care of your Macbook Pro doesn't need to be a huge hassle, as long as you follow a few simple guidelines. You want to make sure that you follow these instructions to ensure that your machine runs as well as possible for many years into the future. While you are likely already careful with it you may also have a few bad habits that are unknowingly detrimental to the health of the machine.

Here are a few tips for prolonging your Macbook's life:

  • Avoid soft materials: When you are using your computer, keep it away from pillows or other soft bedding materials. This is because your bedspread can block the air vents on the computer - especially the rear ones - and cause it to overheat. Not only is this be bad for the laptop's interior, it will also drain the battery quickly.
  • Be careful while cleaning: Your computer screen is very sensitive, so you should only use a small amount of a specialized cleaning solution on a cloth when cleaning it. Avoid any cleaning alcohols or glass cleaner, as they will react badly with the screen's material and damage it, as well as run the risk of dripping into the laptop's vents.
  • Purchase a padded case: If you travel a lot with your laptop, make sure that you own a case with special padding. This will allow you to carry it around without having to worry about your movements causing it any damage.
