From the purchase of brand new electronics to buying more items (often with brand new online companies) for gifts, if you are not careful, you may find yourself in less than the holiday spirit.

2020 has already been a headache; you need to do what you can to avoid making it any worse. By avoiding the holiday hacking season, you can do exactly this.

Our Top Tips on How to Extend Laptop Battery Life

How to Extend Laptop Battery Life

It’s happened to us all. We’re in the middle of working on a project, there’s no power outlet anywhere, and the computer’s battery power indicator has gone from black to red. You know you can make it. At least you’re pretty sure. So you fly across the keyboard as fast as your fingers will let you. The finish line is right there. You just need a few more minutes–and the computer dies. A few years ago, your laptop would have been able to last, but now, your computer just cannot hold the same kind of charge.

Of course, modern laptops don’t let you simply swap out the dead battery and insert a new one. If you want a new battery, you need to take it into a repair shop and drop money on a repair you could have done not long ago. Once your battery life begins to dwindle, you can’t get that lost time back. However, it is possible to extend your laptop battery life to squeeze every second possible out of it. Here are our suggestions for how to extend laptop battery life.

Have you asked yourself, “Why is My Computer Running so Slow” During the Pandemic? Here’s Why:

why is my computer running so slow

There’s nothing like opening up the box of a brand new computer. It comes out shiny and sleek. It feels smaller than whatever you were using in the past, and when you turn it on, it feels almost instant. It’s truly amazing how brand new technology can put the old tech to shame. And yet, after a few months, you start to see cracks in the armor. It’s no longer running as quickly as it did fresh out the box. It takes a few moments longer to load a website, or it takes a couple of added seconds to finish booting up when starting it. You may not realize it’s doing this until one day, it is painfully slow, and you’re not even sure why. (more…)
