Laptop users who use WIFI
Do you leave the laptop on while moving from room to room? I know moving computers with HDDs spinning could be dangerous but i'm just wondering if the same implications could occur with a laptop HDD..
So, is it best to shut down the laptop before you pick it up and move or can you leave it running without damaging the HDD? |

Laptop HDD's can withstand reasonable motion. Actually, pretty much anything less than dropping the machine is OK.

I've been moving laptops around for years, nothing's ever happened. Never heard it happening to anybody else either. Go for it.

Turn them upside-down, it won't effect anything. They are made with this in mind.
Also most people get the terminology wrong, there are laptops and notebooks. Not surprising for people to toss incorrect computer terminology around, this has been going on since the inception of them. To this day I still here users point to their tower and call it a "hard drive" or a "CPU". Notebooks are what is sold in today's market. They are 6 Lbs or lighter and have larger screens than laptops. Notebooks today have WIFI, USB, PIII/P4, larger hard drives, slimmer profiles. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/N/notebook_computer.html Laptops are from an older era and are smaller than notebooks and heavier. Anything 8 Lbs or more is usually a laptop. Laptops usually don't have USB, internal ethernet, screen resolutions above 800 x 600. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/laptop_computer.html Another misused word is motor. Motors are electric, your car has an engine...engines have internal combustion.

I'm moving my laptop around for years now, never got any problems...well, it's a laptop, no football, so treat it gently.

We nolonger are in 1998. Most Harddisks now-a-days have no problem with reasonable shocks. Notebook-Harddisks have even more resistance. I carry around my notebook constantly, absolutely no problem.

yeah, I beat the fuck out of my laptops and they last for 4 and 5 years with no problem before they become unuseable and obsolete...
I think drives are much more robust these days. |
