Have you ever noticed your computer getting slower or hotter over time? Dust buildup could be the reason. Regular updates help with security, but physical maintenance is just as important to keep your system running well.

Cleaning your computer is easier than you might think. Simply turn it off, unplug it, and carefully remove dust using short bursts of compressed air or a clean dry brush. Avoid vacuum cleaners, as they can create static electricity or even suck loose components.

Laptops are trickier to clean because their parts are tightly packed and usually they are not designed to be easily opened. This usually leads to a much shorter lifespan if we compare them with their equivalent desktop.

Keeping your workspace dust-free will always help. A little care goes a long way in extending your computer’s life. If you need help, Link IT Nord is happy to assist!
