Hardware maintenance recommendations

• Clean the hardware: Regularly clean the keyboard, screen, and exterior of your device to prevent dust accumulation. Use gentle electronics-friendly cleaning agents and clean microfiber cloths to avoid damage. Avoid getting cleaning agents near exposed power and data ports.

• Check for hardware issues: Periodically check the health of your hardware components, such as the battery and storage drive. Native tools in PureOS can help monitor the health of your storage devices.

• Manage storage: Keep an eye on your storage usage. Remove unnecessary files and applications to maintain optimal performance.

• Optimize performance: Regularly review and optimize startup applications and services to improve boot times and overall system responsiveness.

• Battery care: If you frequently use your laptop on battery power, avoid letting the battery drain completely. Try to keep it between 20% and 80% charged for optimal lifespan.

• Use a cooling pad: If you use your laptop for resource-intensive tasks, consider using a cooling pad to help manage temperatures and prevent overheating.

• Check for PureBoot updates: Occasionally check for PureBoot firmware updates, as these can improve performance and security.

• Review privacy settings: Regularly review and adjust privacy settings in your operating system and applications to ensure your data is protected.
