Select The Perfect Location For Your MacBook


You will regret if you select a wrong place to keep your MacBook. Some office cubicles and domiciles do not give you a choice and you have to place your MacBook on a single desk provided in the dorm or workplace. But if you are using a MacBook at home and you have an option to choose a suitable place for keeping it, consider the important points given below to ensure proper functioning of MacBook.

Keep things cool

You may notice that your new MacBook is silent, but the super fast Intel multi-core processor of MacBook generates heat. You need to make sure that your chosen location is shielded from sunlight and far away from the heating vents. You can also purchase a cooling pad for laptop that elevates the base to allow air circulation underneath your device.

Outlets are a key

Your MacBook requires at least 1 nearby outlet. Three of the following outlets are ideal for any laptop:

· A basic AC outlet: if you are traveling abroad, use an appropriate adapter for current.

· A telephone jack: you will need a telephone jack if your external USB modem is Lion-compatible. You can use it to connect your modem to the internet or receiving and sending faxes.

· An Ethernet jack: you might need this jack if you are using the built-in Ethernet port of MacBook Pro or MacBook. It is used to for connecting the laptop to the wired Ethernet network.

Do not forget the lighting

You will need a floor or a desk lamp for lighting, at a minimum. Working on a laptop in dim lighting may cause harm to your eyesight. Illuminating the keyboard of your MacBook is a great idea.

Plan to expand

Allow some additional space on both sides of the MacBook if your laptop is placed on a desk or a table. By leaving some extra space on sides, you will have enough room to place external peripherals, external keyboard, mouse and powerful speakers.

Tips

· For a general protection against light you can always make an addition of a surge protector. It is not necessary to use UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) because the battery of your MacBook will automatically start in case of any power failure.

· It is better to choose wireless networking for the new MacBook if you prefer sending data over airwaves.

· You should consider using a shelf for laptop if you plan to keep a handy external keyboard. These metal or Plexiglas stands elevate your MacBook at least 2 to 3 inches above your desk. A stand puts your screen at a better ergonomic position. With the help of a stand you can elevate your screen for a better placement of mouse and external keyboard.
