Ergonomics: Ideally, for comfort, a computer's screen and keyboard should be separated. With laptops this is not the case. Laptops were not designed to be used for long periods of time. A laptop is best used on your lap.   [guest]

Keyboard and mouse: If using the laptop on a desk, as though it were a desktop computer, use a separate keyboard and mouse which you can plug into the back of your laptop. Use a separate monitor as well if you can!   [guest]

Secure your data: While you're out and about and on open wireless networks, make sure you've got a secure firewall installed on your laptop and that its settings are very restrictive.   [guest]

Airports: Never check your laptop computer as luggage on an airline, bus, etc. Always carry-on your laptop computer to avoid damage and theft. Keep your laptop in hand at all times when in public areas. Be extra careful in busy locations like airports, where many laptop computers are stolen.   [guest]

Long flights: sometimes there is a hot 110 Volt/AC outlet right in front of each exit door in the outside wall (eg, Boeing 747s) where you can plug in your notebook's A/C adapter and work/play the hours away without worrying about batteries.   [guest]

Receipt: Take your purchase receipt along if you're traveling to a foreign country. This way you can avoid paying import tax if a customs agent challenges you.   [guest]

Security cable: Use a security cable lock (fits into the laptop's keyhole) and fix it to something sturdy and immovable anytime you're not with your laptop, or if you fall asleep in an airport lounge.   [guest]

Avoid strains: Carry the laptop in a backpack instead of a shoulder or handbag.   [guest]
