I spend most of my day on my computer, so caring for it properly is important to me! Belkin put together a great “Care Kit” for my laptop and I have been impressed with it so far.
Laptop bag: of course, you need to have a good laptop bag…..not just for traveling, but to keep your laptop safe when not in use at home. The Belkin Messenger Bag is well-padded yet lightweight. Separate compartments can store your laptop as well as files, power cords and more. It is available in a variety of stylish colors and can hold a laptop up to 15.4″.
Cooling pad: Using a cooling pad can extend the life of your computer and the Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad is an inexpensive, effective way to keep your laptop from overheating.
- Gentle slope for improved typing comfort and reduced wrist strain
- Raised screen height to help reduce neck strain
- Fits conveniently inside a laptop bag
Wireless Mouse: I have never liked using the track pad on my laptop…I am SO a “mouse user”! The Belkin Wireless Travel Mouse is perfect for taking on the road-no messy cables to get tangled, and more comfortable to use than your laptop’s track pad. (and as a side note, Brad was very happy that I got it in Techno Blue….now he doesn’t have to use my pink mouse any longer!

I take good care of my laptop, keep it clean and in a padded bag. It does end up with my dogs hair on it tho, yuck!
I’m good to my laptop most of the time but I have been known to throw it in my carry all when in a hurry.

I take good care of my laptop. I store it in it’s case when I’m not using it. I don’t use a cooling pad but I certainly would if I had one.

I’m using an old laptop, it looks pretty bad even though it was taken care of.

I don’t always take very good care of my laptop. This would be very helpful. Thanks for the giveaway.
I hate to admit I could take better care of my laptop. It’s covered with finger prints and goodness knows what else from the kids!
I fall more into the “crumbs on the keyboard” category of laptop care. My husband is much more careful with his, but I figure since I am the only one who uses mine, I don’t mind if it gets a little messy (so long as it still works!).
I am horrible at caring for my laptop–no bag and no cooling pad!

We don’t own a cooling pad, but we are good about putting it in a case when not in use.

I take really good care of my laptop.
I am actually pretty bad at caring for my laptop since the fan died! I haven’t replaced the fan yet either, so when I do, all this could come in very handy for me not having to burn it out again!
Thanks!
