I'm a new MB user and I do my best to take care of all my stuff, especially my new MB. I've read the threads on numerous forums about screens cracking and from most of the threads, people are just mistreating their equipment. In some cases, users have said they picked up their laptop by holding the screen when it is open. I saw another person say they closed their lid by pressing down on a corner of the lid/screen.
I'm treating my Macbook basically the same as my old Dell laptop. If I need to move it when it's open or closed, I pick it up by the base and use two hands to take it where I need it.
When I open and close the lid, I always do so by the center. Sometimes I get a little nervous when opening it because I have to apply enough pressure to split the magnets so I generally use enough pressure to get it apart, and then proceed to open it at a moderate pace so I don't apply too much force to anything.
I know this isn't rocket science, but can any of the more experienced MB users let me know if I'm doing anything wrong? I'm just hoping that future switchers can get a sense of what's good and what's bad so they can handle their MBs properly. Thanks!
