Opening a laptop... It would seem very simple. Do you really need to "teach" such a process?

In fact, there is one important nuance that is not taken into account by most users.

Many people use a dangerous method to open the lid of a laptop. They hold on to one of the corners of the screen.

Why You Shouldn't Open Your Laptop by Holding the Corner of the Screen

It is important to take into account that the laptop screen is not designed for uneven loads.

If you start opening the laptop by holding only one corner of the lid, the latter will begin to bend.

The result may be serious damage to the display.

How to open a laptop correctly

The user must ensure that the load on the lid is uniform.

This can be achieved in two ways.

The first option: you need to take hold of one corner with one hand and the opposite “ear” of the lid with the other hand

The second option is to place your palm on the top center of the screen.

Both methods are safe for the display, so choose whichever approach you prefer.

There is one more important point: you need to open the laptop very carefully. Do not rush and try to avoid sudden movements. If you follow these conditions, you will definitely not damage the screen.
