Top accessories to keep your laptop up and running
During the monsoon, ensuring that your laptop stays protected is a smart move. This means that you should invest in the right accessories that are crucial for keeping your device safe and operational. Top on your list should be a high-quality, water-resistant laptop bag or a laptop sleeve.
Choose options from materials such as neoprene or treated nylon, which provide excellent water resistance. Here are three options you can consider.
Lenovo Urban B535
The Lenovo Urban B535 backpack is made of polyester, which is water-resistant and is the perfect pick for your 15.6-inch Lenovo laptop.
Croma classic messenger bag
Made from water-resistant polyester, with a twin-grab handle, the Croma classic messenger bag is a great choice.
Carlton Dorset 03
For added security, consider a laptop bag with a rain cover such as the Carlton Dorset 03 laptop bag, which also features an air cushion system for extra protection of your laptop.
Additionally, Silica gel packets placed in your bag can effectively absorb excess moisture and prevent condensation. Also, remember to invest in a high-quality microfibre cloth to keep your device clean and dry by preventing water spots and potential damage from residual moisture.
Clever Ways to combat moisture and maintain performance
Dehumidifiers
Keeping your laptop in top shape during the monsoon isn’t just about external protection. Start by ensuring that your device stays in a moisture-free environment. A small dehumidifier in your workspace, like the Origin OMS1 dehumidifier can significantly reduce ambient humidity. A quick DIY option – moisture absorbers with activated charcoal or rice can be effective. Clean your laptop’s vents and fans regularly to prevent the accumulation of moisture and ensure smooth airflow.
Cooling pads
Using a laptop cooling pad with built-in fans, like the Croma DCX-AA4 laptop cooling pad, can help improve ventilation and lower the risk of condensation inside your laptop.
Surge protectors
To guard against power surges often caused by storms or heavy rainfall, it’s wise to use a high-quality surge protector. The Havells Royalstar surge and spike guard is a dependable option that protects your laptop.
So, whether you have a high-end Lenovo laptop or a budget-friendly HP laptop, power surges could cause internal damage, exposing your device to moisture, and in turn, increasing the HP laptop cost due to unwanted repairs. Finally, back up your data using both Cloud storage and an external hard drive to keep your files and media safe.
Power solutions and workspace tips for uninterrupted productivity
Ensuring uninterrupted power and maintaining productivity in the workspace is crucial during the monsoon season.
Power banks
Start by investing in a high-capacity power bank, like the Ambrane Stylo Max power bank of 50000mAh, which keeps your laptop running during unexpected outages.
UPS
To guard against voltage fluctuations, a reliable UPS like the APC BX600C-IN is a great addition.
Laptop stands
When setting up your workspace, pick a spot away from windows to avoid humidity and water splashes.
Elevate your laptop with a stand like the Portronics My Buddy K Pro laptop stand, which helps with efficient airflow and protects against water damage from surface moisture.
To combat the chill that often accompanies rainy weather and might impact both you and your laptop’s performance, a small, energy-efficient space heater like the Bajaj RHX-2 room heater is portable and useful.
Finally, make your workspace inviting with some monsoon-themed decorations or a white noise machine that plays soothing rainfall sounds. This can help you stay focused and productive while enjoying the rainy season.
