Keep liquids away from your laptop - As tempting as it might be to drink coffee, juice, water, or any other liquid near your laptop, accidents can happen all too easily. Spilled liquids may damage the internal microelectronic components or cause electrical damage. Short circuits can corrupt data or even permanently destroy some parts of the laptop. The solution is very simple: Keep your drinks away from your computer. Even if you are careful, someone else might spill your drink.

Keep food away from your laptop - Please don't eat over your laptop, the crumbs can fall between the keys and provide an invitation to small bugs or damage the circuitry. Worse yet, the laptop will look dirty if there are crumbs on it.

Do not use your computer in a room where pet animals are - Their fur and hair can get into the internal workings and damage them. Also, larger pet animals like dogs can accidentally damage them by knocking them off their support by brushing past, wagging tail, tripping over leads, etc.

Always have clean hands when using your laptop - Clean hands make it easier to use your laptop touchpad and there will be less risk of leaving dirt and other stains on the computer. In addition, if you clean your hands before you use the laptop, you will reduce wear and tear on the coating caused by contact with sweat and small particles that can act upon the laptop's exterior.

Avoid placing heavy materials, such as books, on top of your laptop - This can push the LCD screen into the keyboard, and will eventually damage it. Also, the CD-ROM insert will be squished and, eventually, will break.

Try to keep the laptop on a flat, clean surface - This prevents damage to the laptop. This can be hard to do, particularly if you are outside with your laptop, but if there is a flat surface available then put your laptop on it.

Don't use your laptop on the bed/pillow - Repeated use of a laptop on the bed/pillow will cause the fans to suck up the dust and debris in the bed, ultimately blocking the fan.

Protect the LCD display monitor - When you shut your laptop, make sure there are no small items, such as a pencil or small ear-phones, on the keyboard. These can damage the display screen if the laptop is shut on them; the screen will scratch if the item is rough. Close the lid gently and holding it in the middle. Closing the lid using only one side causes pressure on that hinge, and over time can cause it to bend and snap.
