There is a lot of inaccurate and outdated information in this video. 14: Well built power supplies don’t have this problem. Many of us have been connecting our laptops this way for years without issue. Modern power supplies even mostly shut down automatically with no load. 13: Modern laptops have better management that can cycle the battery when it’s full. Also, some laptops are so light that they rely on the battery to keep them upright. Not all laptops let you easily remove the battery, either. 12: Only in rare cases will trying to do something “too soon” cause issues. For most of us, it’s fine. 11: power strips don’t offer any real surge protection, and by the time there is a surge, it would have been too late for you to cut power anyway. If you’re worried about lightning, just unplug it. 10: this one about placement and ventilation is ok 9: ok, software maintenance is important, but registry editing is not recommended for the average user. 8: sleep and hibernation modes were specifically made for laptops, so people could transport them without having to wait for a full boot up. Both modes shut down mechanical devices. Also, hibernation is exactly the same as shutting it down, as far as the hardware is concerned. 7: exposing to sunlight - ok 6: mangling the cables - ok 5: mostly ok except for coolers. Unless the laptop is poorly designed, it should cool itself just fine on a flat surface. 4: cheap power supply - ehhh I’ll give you this one. 3: more and more laptops are coming with solid state drives, making fragmentation a non-issue. Running defrag tools on an SSD is not recommended. 2: cleaning - ok 1: why would keeping headphones plugged in to the analog audio output when there’s no audio, pull any power? The only way I can think of is if they have a also have a condenser microphone built in.
I've plugged in my laptop ever since I bought it, seldom removing it at all. The battery is in it, never took it out. Today, it still runs fine. I left it plugged in, day and night... probably 3 to 4 years now. It is an HP.
I have broke most of these as well but my laptop has also been drowned (several times), and was sitting under a sink that was leaking water in to it oddly enough it still works fine (its a Toshiba got it 6 years ago)
1000% agree... i keep my laptop pluged in 24/7 from last 4 years, same laptop (lenovo x230 i7) , still my battery give me 6-7 hours and same 90 watt charger.
Putting your laptop in the fridge will do more harm than good. Sudden temperature change are extremely bad for Li-ion and li-poly batteries. DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE FRIDGE.
@@BreadMan434 haha that's not how it works. Many computer professionals advice it's not necessary to shutdown your computer every time. Just stop your processes and put it to sleep. This also helps the battery to last long. You also don't need to keep on charging when it's in sleep. If it has more than 80% of charge left, it can easily last for more than a week
@@deadchannel5933 modern laptops are capable of controlling the power from ur power supply. I mean u can leave ur laptop plugged in if u r using Lithium ion batteries.
Lithium ion batteries will lose their capacity if they are kept near 0% or 100% for long. Not sure how the chemistry works but they go under some kind of non reversible reaction which decreases the charge holding capacity. My asus laptop has a software where I can set the max battery level to 60% when I'm using it in always plugged in mode. I think that would increase battery life.
I agree! My laptop has a Li-Polymer battery. Which means i can never remove the battery! Our laptops will automaticly disconnect the battery while it's fully charged, or charged for 99 percent. In windows setting, we can set this limitation to 80 percent or less.

There are several errors in the video, wich are misconceptions from non tech savy people, and also people wich dont know much about electronics. Examples: A original power suply has no issues watsoever in being connected first to the outlet. (Electronic misconception, on how de psu work) Cleaning registry from time to time. Actually its risky to do it, and unless you're removing a problematic key it wont do much to performance nor it will affect in any way the logenvity. You may just end up breaking some programs by removing important keys.

When you hibernate your PC, it shuts down, but it saves the RAM content to the hard drive. So its actually shut down.
10 y/o me on a MacBook Pro 2017 during a Google meet: **holds control + D down** the Mac: **starts trying to cool off with a very loud fan** me: OI STOP
moving your computer around in sleep mode has actually become less harmful in recent years thanks to solid state drives becoming the norm. They have no moving parts and therefore cannot become damaged by getting jostled around. It's the same with disk fragmentation, and in fact with SSDs you actually DON'T want to do anything about this because the drive does wear leveling on purpose which purposely fragments the drive to prevent one NAND cell from getting written to more often than another so that cells on the drive don't start dying prematurely as SSD NAND cells actually have a limited number of write cycles before they die. On top of this, defragmenting the drive would just cause the drive to get worn out faster because to relocate the data the drive controller has to zero out the one bit and write a one to another bit just causing both of those bits to have one less write cycle available before they die.
Also, modern laptops don't charge the battery after a certain value, no matter how long you have it plugged. my 5-year ROG is always plugged, the battery only charges to 95% and it's still in good condition. on the new ROG, I can select 60%, 80% or 95% using a program called battery life
@Jim Man HWmonitor shows how much charge your battery has now, compared to how much it was designed to have. I have 94% of the original capacity, not bad after 5 years
@Jim Man as I said, it's ok to have your laptop always charging and it won't hurt the batery. that's why i comented on this video, to stop this myth of removing bateries
Yeah, this video is like the verges' "Custom gaming PC build tutorial" of laptops. They have barely any idea of what they're talking about. I've been using laptops for ages and I've faced none of these problems.
Nowadays, like 12 out of these are completely invalid. Laptops have surge protection. Batteries have overcharge protection. Laptops have better USB power management etc. Here are my tips for keeping your laptop alive: 1) Clean from dust on a daily basis, after you finish working, so that it doesn't accumulate. 2)Once every 2 months, unscrew the laptop and perform a deeper clean. 3) Prefer Ethernet over Wi-fi. 4) You can clean the display with a glasses wipe and a special display spray. This guy is nuts. 5) Do not run the laptop when the temperature around you exceeds 25°C. Or if you do, make sure you have a cooling pad. 6) Do NOT shut down the laptop every time. Boot cycles will in general ramp up the usage of both your CPU and your SSD. Just close the lid. Restart once every few days to prevent bugs. (for Linux only when you get kernel updates) These are my tips.
1. Batteries are not removable anymore and it's 2019, voltage regulators make it mostly unnecessary. 2. Sleep mode may be harmful (not sure), but hibernate is not harmful at all. When you hibernate your computer, the system copies your entire RAM in a compressed manner to your hard disk, then actually shuts down and loads it back on boot. So while the laptop is hibernated, it's drawing 0 power, just like a shut down.
Sleep mode is only harmful if your battery is bad or something software-wise is wrong. With everything working properly, if your laptop is sleeping and the battery drains to a certain level, the laptop is supposed to wake up, long enough to properly enter hibernation (or shut down if you disable hibernation).
@@PCIeTeam I don't have direct access to the battery. I must dissasamble the laptop to remove the battery. Do you expect to do this every time when I what to use my laptop directly plugged in?
@@PCIeTeam I know how to take apart my laptop but it makes no sense to disassemble my laptop to disconnect the battery just to use it directly with the power adapter for a few hours a day. There is no sense to disassemble your laptop every time you want to spend more time on the power adapter.

hey man i dont know much about computers but i certainly know that keeping ur headphones plugged in to the laptop whilst its off doesn't consume battery Where did you get this fake tips? pls go get some help
Tips from the 2000s, mostly do not apply to current equipment, just to mention a few points such as non-removable batteries, overload protection, and many many others ...
We keep all our laptops plugged in to the power source all the time. We don’t remove our batteries. All laptop batteries are still running strong after 5+ years!
@Jim Man Sorry but what you just said reminds of when I used to work in a computer shop. Customers will often say that they don't use antivirus software and have defender disabled as they claim that they never had any problems without antivirus - they bring in a laptop with all viruses you can think of running haha
Regclean, a tool used by the programmers at Microsoft, can clean up the registry without allowing you to cause problems. It just runs, it's not like manually cleaning the registry with Regedit.
I strongly doubt the battery trick. That issue with batteries tend to be less valid these days as batteries become more smart and manage energy themself for self preservation. It is the same with smartphones. That's also the reason why certain constructors don't make removable batteries any more.
14 the laptop power bricks have built in protection for that 8 it is unrecommended only if u have to travel on a very bumpy road and your laptop has a HDD while as a if u have a SSD you are good as gold
And for some reason I also thought about that robot chicken episode with the abused wife. We got the Nerf stairs installed, anything else? Ya, we're gonna need some need doors too hahaha
Another tip to keep your laptop cool you can put it on an ice bath instead of cooling pad. Remember to wrap the bottom of your laptop to avoid water damage.
What is the logic behind not connecting the outlet first without connecting other end to laptop? I always connect power supplu to outlet first. I think your point is absurd.
Most of this advice is either straight wrong, or only true of laptops from the 90s and early 00s. There are safety measures in place in all modern computers to prevent all of these.
Just look at a schematic of a standard laptop power supply, there's been protection for this for decades now as it is legally required by the European Union (and I imagine the US has the same or similar requirements too)
#14 - i believe the recommended way is to power it up first, before connecting the load - (the laptop). that way, the power brick has been already fully initialized. what was recommend has putting more stress to the power brick and possibly to the laptop. but of course, what's in the manual should be the authoritative.
@@the2323guy, thank you for trying to correct me. but i am referring to the power supply (adaptor) when i said power brick. that switching power supply has automatic high in-rush current and power factor corrector. so even without load, the power supply will not get damage. in fact, it is better you plug the brick first unconnected to the laptop, and once it is powered up is is ready at the right voltage level and when you plug it in, the laptop sees the actual voltage (say 19vdc). when you plug the brick in the outlet with the laptop connected, the laptop sees the voltage from zero volts initially up to the right level. i do not know if that has effect on the laptop, but i suspect it does stress the brick (but propeely designed one will not matter). and yeah, you're correct. power brick is not a computer.
Charging the Laptop Fully & Draining the Battery Fully also can be Harmful for the Battery Life... If Possible, Lock your Charging Level to 80% only... I've done it !
this is some bs i have been using this Sony Vaio CW since 2008 since its been bought for 15 years now while doing most of the things in this video its telling me not to do and it runs flawlessly just cant play tf2 on it anymore and the battery sort of lasts like 40 minutes

Cleaning registry from time to time. Actually its risky to do it, and unless you're removing a problematic key it wont do much to performance nor it will affect in any way the logenvity. You may just end up breaking some programs by removing important keys.
Actually, modern laptops have voltage regulators that prevent battery damage. You don't have to remove your battery anymore.
And on modern laptops like the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 you can't even remove the battery

When you hibernate your PC, it shuts down, but it saves the RAM content to the hard drive. So its actually shut down.

moving your computer around in sleep mode has actually become less harmful in recent years thanks to solid state drives becoming the norm. They have no moving parts and therefore cannot become damaged by getting jostled around. It's the same with disk fragmentation, and in fact with SSDs you actually DON'T want to do anything about this because the drive does wear leveling on purpose which purposely fragments the drive to prevent one NAND cell from getting written to more often than another so that cells on the drive don't start dying prematurely as SSD NAND cells actually have a limited number of write cycles before they die. On top of this, defragmenting the drive would just cause the drive to get worn out faster because to relocate the data the drive controller has to zero out the one bit and write a one to another bit just causing both of those bits to have one less write cycle available before they die.
Good luck removing a battery from an Apple MacBook or other laptop with a sealed back. Useless tips...
Also, modern laptops don't charge the battery after a certain value, no matter how long you have it plugged. my 5-year ROG is always plugged, the battery only charges to 95% and it's still in good condition. on the new ROG, I can select 60%, 80% or 95% using a program called battery life
Apple is bad anyways
@Jim Man HWmonitor shows how much charge your battery has now, compared to how much it was designed to have. I have 94% of the original capacity, not bad after 5 years
@Jim Man as I said, it's ok to have your laptop always charging and it won't hurt the batery. that's why i comented on this video, to stop this myth of removing bateries

Yeah, this video is like the verges' "Custom gaming PC build tutorial" of laptops.
They have barely any idea of what they're talking about. I've been using laptops for ages and I've faced none of these problems.
ik right? this is a bit outdated too, wait; whats that? Its posted in 2019?
@@null_crytech it's from 2018, the verge tried to build a custom pc but the guy who did it had no idea what they where doing.
Nowadays, like 12 out of these are completely invalid. Laptops have surge protection. Batteries have overcharge protection. Laptops have better USB power management etc.
Here are my tips for keeping your laptop alive:
1) Clean from dust on a daily basis, after you finish working, so that it doesn't accumulate.
2)Once every 2 months, unscrew the laptop and perform a deeper clean.
3) Prefer Ethernet over Wi-fi.
4) You can clean the display with a glasses wipe and a special display spray. This guy is nuts.
5) Do not run the laptop when the temperature around you exceeds 25°C. Or if you do, make sure you have a cooling pad.
6) Do NOT shut down the laptop every time. Boot cycles will in general ramp up the usage of both your CPU and your SSD. Just close the lid. Restart once every few days to prevent bugs. (for Linux only when you get kernel updates)
These are my tips.

1. Batteries are not removable anymore and it's 2019, voltage regulators make it mostly unnecessary.
2. Sleep mode may be harmful (not sure), but hibernate is not harmful at all. When you hibernate your computer, the system copies your entire RAM in a compressed manner to your hard disk, then actually shuts down and loads it back on boot. So while the laptop is hibernated, it's drawing 0 power, just like a shut down.
I have laptop i cant take Batteries out
Sleep mode is only harmful if your battery is bad or something software-wise is wrong. With everything working properly, if your laptop is sleeping and the battery drains to a certain level, the laptop is supposed to wake up, long enough to properly enter hibernation (or shut down if you disable hibernation).

I strongly doubt the battery trick. That issue with batteries tend to be less valid these days as batteries become more smart and manage energy themself for self preservation. It is the same with smartphones. That's also the reason why certain constructors don't make removable batteries any more.

If your laptop is heating so much, take it to technician and ask him to clean the fan and apply new cooling paste to CPU.

Another tip to keep your laptop cool you can put it on an ice bath instead of cooling pad. Remember to wrap the bottom of your laptop to avoid water damage.

#14 - i believe the recommended way is to power it up first, before connecting the load - (the laptop). that way, the power brick has been already fully initialized. what was recommend has putting more stress to the power brick and possibly to the laptop.
but of course, what's in the manual should be the authoritative.
The power brick is not a computer.
@@the2323guy, thank you for trying to correct me. but i am referring to the power supply (adaptor) when i said power brick. that switching power supply has automatic high in-rush current and power factor corrector. so even without load, the power supply will not get damage. in fact, it is better you plug the brick first unconnected to the laptop, and once it is powered up is is ready at the right voltage level and when you plug it in, the laptop sees the actual voltage (say 19vdc).
when you plug the brick in the outlet with the laptop connected, the laptop sees the voltage from zero volts initially up to the right level. i do not know if that has effect on the laptop, but i suspect it does stress the brick (but propeely designed one will not matter).
and yeah, you're correct. power brick is not a computer.
Charging the Laptop Fully & Draining the Battery Fully also can be Harmful for the Battery Life...
If Possible, Lock your Charging Level to 80% only...
