I've just got myself a new one and would like some advice on how to keep it in the best running condition. With my old laptop I used to shut it down every night.. is this ok to do or should I keep it on Standby/Hibernate, only shutting it down once every few days?
as regards shutting it down, it doesnt matter, shutting it down will not make any difference to its runing, if you find it slows down then defragment the hard drive and if you want to keep it in a good condition have a search around for a program called webroots windows washer, this rpogram clears out all the rubbish such as temporary files and helps keep your computer running sweet
