So, I just got a new laptop, since my old one broke completely and I'm just wondering how can I keep this laptop in a good condition and running smoothly?

If it does you have to charge it more and because the battery is either Li-ion or Ni-MH rechargable batteries, the more you recharge it the less life you get out of it. Rechargable batteries only live for a while.
Keep it in a case when you travel with it.If you dont scratches dents and other damages are sure to follow.
Try to keep it home as much as possible. The more it travels unnessicarily the more chances you have to create damages.
Download a REALLY good anti-virus program and schedule weekly virus scans. The moment your computer gets slow or is overcome with viruses that you are having trouble getting rid of bring it out for maintenence.
And although not always nessicary try getting the cmomputer maintained every 6 months. But you should have it maintained annually anyway. [ mathyou's advice column | Ask mathyou A Question ]
