Now I have a Microsoft Surface 2. What can I keep in mind that it lasts a long time?
So of course: don't pour coffee on it or drop it.
But is there anything else you can consider?
If you handle it normally, it can last forever.
Store as dust-free as possible, do not often leave it without electricity and do not drop it
Hopefully
The hardware doesn't break so easily on its own… Keep it clean and clean the fans at least once a year…
The Windows on it will surely give up the ghost
You don't have to pay attention to anything.
My first Medion notebook from 2000 lasted a whole 10 years. I was completely satisfied with it, but after 10 years suddenly nothing worked.
My Sony Vaio notebook, on the other hand, only lasted 3 years after that.
My Lenovo notebook that I still have has been around for 7 years.
As you can see, it is completely different.
Buy a case for on the go. This should protect the case and the screen. Only clean the screen with suitable means, otherwise it will dissolve. Do not over-discharge the battery and do not always leave the laptop powered.
