Apple devices are built to last, but the better you treat your computer, the longer lifespan it will enjoy. You don't want to invest your money into a laptop that will only last you two or three years because you aren't treating it with the care that it deserves. The Macbook Pro is a durable laptop, but there are still certain guidelines that you should follow in order to make sure that it remains in good shape for the long haul.

Here are three tips for caring for your laptop:

• Avoid hard shutoffs: Unless your computer freezes up or has crashed, you should not shut it off by holding down the power button. This sudden interruption can have a very negative impact on your laptop's internal hard drive and other components. Instead, always turn off your computer down by following the normal shut down procedure.
• Clean out the vents: As often as you can, be sure to use compressed air to clean out the dust that can build up in the vents and fan of your computer. Clogged vents force the machine to work harder and overheat, and by regularly cleaning these out, you can help to make it run much more effectively.
• Use a gentle touch: Of course, how you interact with the computer will be the major factor in how long it lasts. You should always have a soft touch when handling the machine. Avoid bashing on the keyboard out of frustration. This will only lead to faster wear and tear.
