Cold Weather Computer Care

As the thermometer dips down, there are a few considerations for keeping your tech equipment safe.
  • Don't leave your equipment in the car. The plastic can get hard and will crack easier with impact.
  • Don't position your tower near a heating vent. The heat will kick on more when it's cold and heat is a natural enemy of electronics.
  • Discharge static electricity before you touch your computer. The static you build up walking across the carpet is more than enough to fry your processor.
  • Expect outages; inclement weather and outages go together. If it's absolutely vital you maintain your internet connection, then have a backup internet such as a cellular tether or a landline. A UPS can assist with electrical outages.
  • Many tech items go on sale after the holidays so save some cash for then. ;)
Be prepared and you'll see spring flowers before you know it!
