Thanks for helping me to aqcriue new suggestions about pc's. I also hold the belief that one of the best ways to keep your laptop computer in primary condition is a hard plastic-type case, or even shell, that will fit over the top of the computer. These types of protective gear tend to be model specific since they are manufactured to fit perfectly within the natural outer shell. You can buy them directly from the owner, or from third party places if they are intended for your laptop, however not every laptop may have a shell on the market. Just as before, thanks for your ideas.
