Why you shouldn't move or carry a switched-on laptop: a gross mistake made by most users
Let's imagine a situation: you need to move a laptop from one room to another or simply move it to another part of the table. At the same time, the laptop is working.
Will you turn off the device beforehand?
No? Then you will make a grave mistake.
It turns out that a switched-on laptop cannot be carried or even simply moved.
Such actions can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences.
What happens if you start moving a laptop that is on
In such a situation, the reading head inside the hard drive can damage it.
The hard drive may continue to function. But such a problem as "freezing" of programs will certainly make itself known.
However, it is possible that the laptop will stop turning on altogether.
Therefore, form a useful habit: turn off your laptop before each change of its location.
If you do not follow the recommendation, your hard drive may be damaged.
Especially if we are talking about a rather old storage device.
New hard drives are more durable. But you still shouldn't take risks: turn off your laptop if you plan to move or relocate it.
