Myths About Laptop That Are Still Believed

Laptop Myths


What was the first thing that came to your mind when I said CPU? It's a Personal Computer or maybe Laptop right? Well talking about laptop, did you know that there are over a million laptop have been sold worldwide. And because of that, laptop have become the third most important gadget after television and smartphone. Every people use laptop and almost everybody have it. With a performance like a desktop PC but with a smaller size, laptop quickly take our heart. And behind all of that sophistication, there are so many myths that have been spread among laptop users. 

In this year, technology has reached it's golden age. There are so many gadgets that have become more like human and even helping us doing our job or task. For example a robot, a television that can fold like a paper, drone to spy you neighbor, etc. Technology have become so sophisticated even scientists said that in the next few years. Human will not be needed anymore, our job will be replace by those gadgets and our reign will be no more. But do not worry, there's still one gadgets that will keep helping us instead of taking our job. Yes, it's our old friend laptop (there's no way the army of laptop will invade earth).

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about laptop or even make a review about it (no sponsor remember...). but it's the myth that have been spreading like a wildfire among the geek. And just like a conspiracy theories, some of them are true and some of them are not. So in this article we're gonna mention some of them and give the fact or explanation about the myths.

The Myths About Laptop

Myths doesn't only exist in real life but even in the technology world. There are lots of story going around about gadgets like laptop and the internet. Most of them is not based on fact, but unfortunately a lot of people still believed it. And this article I will tell you all the myths about laptop and give you the fact.


Don't Close the Laptop After You Turn It Off

This is actually true, but it depends on what did you use your laptop for. If you use your laptop for a heavy work that take a lot of your resources like gaming, rendering, etc. Then you shouldn't close your laptop after you turn it off. If you closed it, then you will damaged your laptop's monitor. Better safe than sorry right?


Refresh Your Laptop

Almost every person in the world click refresh before they do something on their laptop. And if you do this, then you are wrong just like every person in the world. Did you what is the function of refresh? It was used for updating the shortcut files or folders that exist in the desktop and this does not affect you laptop performance. So that means you shouldn't press that F5 button to much because it's useless.


Windows Update is Bad

Many people on the internet says that you shouldn't update your windows. Well don't believe those internet "expert". Update is really important, because it gives you the solutions to your laptop's problem. I admit sometimes Windows update reduce my laptop performance, but then it was solve by updating my windows again! If you have a problem just like a glitch or something, just wait for another update and then update it. Just remember no operating system that is perfect!


Clean The Recycle Bin To Increase Your Laptop Performance

Clean your recycle bin does not increase your laptop's performance. It's only give your hard disk a free space and not much. If you want to increase your laptop's performance then defrag your hard disk after you clean your recycle bin.


Bigger RAM Means Faster Laptop

Laptop with bigger RAM is better, but that doesn't mean it was faster. There are two things that determines your laptop fast or not, it was channel and frequency of your RAM. There are four types of channel, Single, Dual, Triple, Quad. If you have 14 GB triple channel and your friend have 18 GB dual channel. The faster one is of course you. The frequency is also important, the bigger the frequencies (Mhz). The faster your laptop.


Remove The Battery When You Are Playing Video Games

Some people think that you should remove your laptop's battery when you are playing video games. Actually this is not true at all, why? Because power depends only on the electricity from the adapter, and when the power off then the laptop will immediately die and can harm the hardware in it. If you still want to remove the battery when playing games, at least use the UPS.


Remove The Charger When It Was Full

Another myths that people still believe. My parents told me that when the laptop is full, remove the charger or the battery's life will be decrease. They said that like a thousand times and let me tell you that it was wrong! Today's laptop have a technology that allow the battery to by-pass the energy that came from laptop. That means the laptop will not receive any energy when the battery was full. It was the heat that break the battery, if you did not want to damaged your battery. Remove the battery when you feel it was hot.


When You First Bought A Laptop, Charge it For A Very Long Time

Did you remember the first time you bought a laptop? What did you do? Did you charge it for 8 to 12 hours?  If you do then you are wrong, but it's all depends on the type of your laptop's battery. If you have the nickel-cadmium, then go ahead charge it for a really long time because it must be recharged fully, or it will lose it's capacity. But if you have a lithium-ion, you can recharged partially, without losing it's capacity. The other reason is that even with the slowest charging, the battery will be full in 6 hours.

Well, that's all the myths that I can think of. To be honest I have done one of the things that I mention above. And trust me, my laptop gets messed up and the battery is depleted. Luckily my father know a lot about laptop, so I was saved. Anyway please do not do any the above, but if you are rich boy that have tons of money to waste then go ahead do it.
