If you are fond of CLOSING YOUR LAPTOP LID without shutting it down... You need to read this post! As a laptop dealer, I’ve seen many issues caused by people always closing their laptop lid without shutting it down properly. Here’s why that’s not a good habit and why you should stop it... 1. It will drain your battery faster...The laptop doesn’t really go off, it just sleeps and keeps using power in the background 2. You laptop can overheat.... I've seen this happen to me personally. When closed, air can’t flow well. If the laptop is still working in the background, it can get too hot and spoil something on the motherboard. 3. You may lose unsaved work... If the battery runs out while sleeping, your files can be lost. 4. It might make your laptop become slow...Too many apps and processes stay running, making the laptop lag this affects the RAM. And even in the long run, it might make the RAM faulty. 5. Some things may stop working if you keep doing it over time....USB, Wi-Fi, or screen may not work well after waking up. 6. Hard drives can get damaged... For laptops with HDDs, sudden sleep can affect them over time. My Best advice? For short breaks closing the lid is fine, or better just put it to sleep then sleep. Long breaks or overnight... Please shut it down or use hibernate. Always remember to restart your laptop every few days. Take care of your laptop, and it will last longer and work better.
